Do your part to protect these amazing yet Endangered Species...the Southern Residents of the Salish Sea... these three families, or pods, of friendly Orca whales reside seasonally in our San Juan archipelago & BC island waters ...
They are sick. They need our help.
"Killer whales from the Salish Sea are some of the most contaminated marine mammals in the world and toxin loads are considered a factor in causing the decline of the southern resident population. Disease too is a major threat to the long term health of killer whale populations... http://www.seadocsociety.org/ "What can you do?...
Fix car oil leaks. Recycle. Don't buy farmed fish. Reduce outdoor chemical usage on lawns and gardens= GO ORGANIC!!....Shop for Nature-friendly household cleaning products and alternatives... Educate yourself & your kids about these beautiful black & white beasts with help from the Orca Network and Center for Whale Research...Take a family trip on the ferry out to Friday Harbor and visit the Whale Museum... Abide by Whale wise guidelines when in proximity of the whales on the water....Donate some time and/or money to support a local non profit whose work benefits these magnificent marine mammals.
