Kenai Design Co.

We're excited to officially share our latest collaboration with the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center!

Created exclusively for AWCC, this custom Cook Inlet Beluga Whale design features a custom illustration that tells a story of the species' life history and the importance of ongoing conservation efforts.

Stop by the visitor's center at AWCC and check out their new collection! You will find stickers, hoodies, and tees available in youth and adult sizes. Every purchase helps support conservation, education, and the future of Alaska's wildlife.

We were honored to be at the grand opening of the Matson Ocean Education Center (MOEC) at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center this past weekend.

This isn’t just a new building… It’s a space built around one of Alaska’s most important and most vulnerable stories:

The Cook Inlet beluga whales.

Perched at “The Point” overlooking Turnagain Arm, the MOEC was designed to connect people directly to the ecosystem around them.

Inside, visitors can:
- Learn about Cook Inlet’s unique marine environment
- Explore a life-size beluga whale skeleton
- Use viewing stations to watch for belugas in real time
- Even listen to underwater sounds through a hydrophone

Outside, take in the views and the opportunity to witness Cook Inlet belugas in their natural habitat.

Cook Inlet belugas are an endangered, non-migratory population, with only roughly 330 remaining.

We’re grateful to have been there for this moment. To see the work being done.
To feel the energy behind it. And to be reminded why this matters so much.

Because protecting Alaska doesn’t happen from a distance.

It happens when people connect to it and choose to care.
