Meet the Team

Tom and April moved to Brunswick Beach, located on the central eastern edge of Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound, in January 2022. They instantly fell in love with the nature surrounding them and have been amazed at the marine life that continues to grow each year. Howe Sound Revival was created in June 2024 as a community-based project to conserve and protect the recovery of whales in Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound. April is a British Columbia-born Biologist and Bioacoustican, and a MSc Candidate with Dr. Ruth Joy at Simon Fraser University. Tom is an American-born Photographer and Civil Engineer. All photography is taken in Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound by Tom. The Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound Revival logo was created by Tom and inspired by April’s research on Southern Resident killer whale echolocation clicks in the Salish Sea. The logo depicts a single echolocation click that is visualized as a waveform, demonstrating the loudness of the click in a given time.
