Southern Resident Killer Whales which inhabit Puget Sound are one of the most imperiled marine mammals in the world. They are listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). A significant cause of stress for Orca is the lack of Chinook salmon, their preferred food source. Their survival is contingent on recovery of healthy populations of Chinook salmon, also endangered and protected under the ESA. So the fate of these iconic Washington animals is intertwined. Hear from two key scientists what is being done to help bring both Southern Resident killer whales and Salmon back from the brink, with a look at Olympic Peninsula salmon populations particularly important for Orca feeding and survival.
