Lots of Bigg’s-Transient Killer Whales, the Orca that hunt other marine mammals for meals, and Humpback Whales here in the Salish Sea.
Not so much of our beloved, endangered Pacific Northwest Southern Resident Orca who depend on Chinook-King Salmon to survive.
Where are the Whales? Where are the Salmon is the answer.
June is declared Orca Awareness Month by Washington and Oregon:
Friday June 24, 2016 many of us are gathering for a rally in Seattle at Westlake Park at 3pm, to increase awareness of the plight of endangered Salmon and Orca along with 137 other species that need these Salmon. The rally coincides with President Obama’s visit with Governor Inslee. We are asking President Obama to issue an Executive Order to breach- take down enough of the obsolete, we taxpayers fund, 4 lower Snake River dams to restore free passage to these Salmon that historically were our nation’s largest Salmon runs. Breaching these dams is also economically better for us and the region!
