Cook Inlet Beluga Whales (CIBW) are an important part of our regional ecosystem, and they are critically endangered. The AWCC works in collaboration with the Alaska Beluga Monitoring Partnership to contribute to beluga monitoring efforts in Alaska’s Cook Inlet. Participate in this community science project by looking for beluga whales while visiting the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center!
Submit any opportunistic sightings to help contribute to research and management efforts for this species!
AWCC has special Holiday Hours! Come celebrate the season with the wildlife. In addition to our normal operations, we will be open on December 26, December 31, and January 2. Walk on the Wild Side Tours are open for booking which include an animal encounter and feeding. Kick-sleds are also available!
