Another Southern Resident has been found dead off the coast of British Columbia. This time it was an adult male known as J-34 Doublestuf. The Southern Residents are now down to just 79 members.

Orcas aren't usually on my radar as far as conservation is concerned-- mostly the critically imperiled species (like gulf of California porpoises) get the bulk of my focus, but reading about the Puget Sound/south orcas is extremely concerning. I'm not happy reading how badly off they are, not at all. If the populations I previously throught were doing okay are nose-diving this badly and nothing is being done, what hope is there for species even worse off?

I'm going to keep an eye and ear out for updates on the south orca populations; thanks for having that in your signature, I don't think I would've heard about it otherwise. I really hope things turn around for the best.

The Southern Residents are actually mostly in Puget Sound, which is a place I frequent. Beautiful mammals. Sadly, J pod lost J-34 today, the fifth this year.

I love how passionate you are about these amazing animals, as they are often overlooked and some species are in need of dire help. Now i'm not a hardcore lover of cetaceans, but its great to see people that are.



Anyway, just stopping by, keep educating the world of CS!

I actually found my K-pod mug a few days ago! So happy!

Just got the news that Granny (J2) is considered to be deceased. She hasn't been spotted since Oct. 12. Hit me hard since my dad "adopted" her for me when I was little.

I was so sad when I found out.

Such sad news circulating. I have been passing the news along to others and I hope we might be able to save these beautiful creatures before it is too late </3

I have faith that we can save the whales. With orcas, though the S. Res. subspecies is endangered, across the globe the species is fine.
