What's new // Southern Resident killer whales
If Southern Resident killer whales are to persist in the Salish Sea decisive steps producing substantive reductions in threats must be taken. Southern Resident killer whales are critically endangered. Their salmon food supply is in decline and their waters are noisy and polluted. This declining population of 73 animals (July 2022) has very low birth rates and premature deaths of adult whales. The birth of recent calves offers hope, but threats that impede their successful feeding and access to Chinook must be addressed for calves to survive and population recovery to occur. Learn more.
