Contaminants in SRKWs
Sandra O’Neill, Contaminants in salmon We’ve heard that S and N residents are both eating mostly Chinook. Why are the southern residents more contaminated than the northern residents? Contaminants in fish are determined by: where they live what they eat … Continue reading
Ken Balcomb: SRKW demographic update
First there was Mike Bigg. Early census effort started in 1976 and was motivated by concern about the captures for aquariums which took out about 50 animals. 1976-1984 habitat use was very similar to current critical habitat! Most encounters May-October, … Continue reading
U.S.+Canada recovery process, U.S. whale watching industry
10:00 Lynne Barre, NWFSC Critical habitat can be modified. A future step is designating habitat outside of the inland waters of WA. Recovery plan implementation was started in 2003, well before the endangered listing in 2005. Proposed regulations are under … Continue reading

A map for including killer whales in NW fisheries managment
Just happened upon this nice synopsis of how WDFW views the various processes by which fishing harvests are governed in the Pacific Northwest. For me, this helps clarify which processes we killer whale advocates could influence to bolster the number … Continue reading
Strong spring chinook run on the Columbia
Here we are in mid-February, a couple weeks into the blackmouth opening in the Salish Sea, and WDFW is opening up recreational fishing for spring (winter?) Chinook running in the Columbia [see today’s email announcement below]. This makes me wonder … Continue reading
Oil Spill Risk Management: Strategies for the future
Intro by Miles (Chip) Boothe Over 600 vessels have been escorted by the Neah Bay tug since it first started operating in 1999; 6 involved throwing lines to a vessel in distress. This afternoon the legislature is looking at a … Continue reading
