B.C. HAS JOINED WASHINGTON AND OREGON IN CELEBRATING ORCA AWARENESS MONTH

Georgia Straight Orcas

June 19, 2017

For orcas, the ever-increasing noise levels in the Salish Sea are threatening their ability to find food, communicate and navigate the dark waters critical to their survival. Sound under the sea is polluting our marine environment, and the survival of southern residents is at stake.
