In what's becoming a less frequent event, all groups of the region's endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales came were spotted in the area.
In what’s becoming a less frequent — though still stunning — event, all three family groups of the region’s endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales recently visited the Puget Sound.
“Since about 2012, 2013 they have not come in the way they did since studies began in the mid-1970’s,” Garrett said. “They just are not finding the salmon inland except in the fall. Right now.”In recent years, Garrett said, “They’ve been out on the Pacific Coast shelf, west of Vancouver Island and Strait of Juan De Fuca and they’ve been catching the fish that are heading down to the Columbia.”
He says, among the group, “There are so many females that are in their 20s, mid-20s or 30s they should be baring a calf roughly every five years or so. And they’re just not.”confirmed this summer L-Pod members L-119 and L-94 each gave birth to a calf. Both were considered very active and social and neither showed any immediate signs of illness or abnormality, the CWR reported.
The effort to bring Tokitae back to the Pacific Northwest had been in the works for years. But it gained steam when the head of the Dolphin Company, which took over management of the Seaquarium, expressed an interest in the idea.
