Howard
Garrett began working with the Center for Whale Research in 1980,
as field researcher and as editor of Cetus, the journal of the Whale
Museum. In 1985 Garrett wrote New England Whales, describing
the humpbacks and other whales and dolphins that inhabit coastal
New England, and the ecosystem supporting them. In 1996 Garrett
wrote Orcas In Our Midst, a booklet oriented toward middle-school
students, depicting the orcas' dependence on salmon, and in turn
how salmon depend on healthy watersheds, wetlands, plankton and
other fish populations. A frequent speaker and writer about orcas
and environmental issues, he co-founded For the past six years Howard has directed the campaign to return Lolita, the last survivor of the orcas captured from the Southern Resident community, from Miami to her home waters in Puget Sound. Howard provides educational presentations for school students and community organizations, naturalist talks on the ferries, develops educational materials, and designs and maintains the Orca Network website.
