Our Wish List
We have a number of items which would help us with the running of the Orca Research Trust. If you would like to donate an item on the list, or contribute towards it financially, this would be much appreciated. The Orca Research Trust is a New Zealand registered non-profit Charity, but we do not receive Government or University funding and rely solely on donations and support – such as gifts-in-kind.
Some of the supplies we list below are permanent “Wish List” items because they are items which either need to be replaced regularly, or are items for which there is a need for multiples.
Shipping information is at the end. In advance, we extend our heartfelt thanks to those supporters who can contribute supplies and equipment to help our cause.
