Lack of salmon may not be the problem after all for endangered orcas, report suggests
The most recent census of the endangered southern residents found they number just 73, compared with the growing population of the northern residents at about 300.

Where is this leading? More restrictions to shipping, commercial and recreational use of the Salish Sea to keep things quiet for 73 Orcas?

Not sure. But lots of the fishing restrictions have been to protect feed stock, no? Is that no longer necessary?

I don’t know why it’s the end of the world if we lose the 73 orcas. EVERY species eventually dies off.

More than 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species, are estimated to have died out.
