Description
The Southern Resident killer whales are an iconic population of Pacific Northwest orcas. Despite decades of research and conservation efforts, they are critically endangered. This book tells the story of these whales, from their capture era to their current listing as an endangered species. The author explores the complex relationship between humans and orcas in the Salish Sea, a region known for its rich marine life. The book delves into the challenges faced by the Southern Residents, including habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. With more challenges on the horizon, one question remains: can we create a sustainable future for humans and orcas in this delicate ecosystem? The story of the Southern Residents is one of both positive attachments and negative politics, shaped by our changing relationship with these whales over the past 50 years. This book provides a comprehensive account of their history, highlighting the need for continued conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures.
