    This is a really important study, and a great group doing the work! As a fellow researcher with harbor porpoises and harbor seals in the Salish Sea, I am very interested in these results, thanks for doing this important work!

    This is such an important and timely research topic, and Dr. Stephanie Norman is such a great asset to all the stranding networks in the Pacific NW Region - I hope you will join me in backing this project, even if you can only give $5 or $10, every donation matters. THANK YOU to all the great backers and supporters who have donated thus far!

    Thank you Barbara for your kind donation. We really appreciate it and are excited, too, to see what kinds of bacteria we find. Especially in light of our endangered resident killer whales! Sincerely, Stephanie
