Something to chat about at the coffee shop. :)

Interesting article Fb.  As chinook salmon are so necessary as prey items for these orcas and since habitat degradation and over fishing, especially by FN and sporties probably won't be reversed anytime soon, increasing numbers of wild chinook don't seem to be the answer. So that leaves two options as I see it .. resident orcas must find an alternate major food source, or hatcheries need to step up production, which will probably lead to fewer wild Chinook.  Some tough decisions ahead for the people charged with managing these inter connected species.

Yep, save killer whales by eating more wild Chinook - a primary food source for killer whales.  Makes total sense.  He sure hasn't kept up with what has been going on in Alaska with their wild Chinook.  Donkey.

Here is more for Dr. Baird to digest.....

Add this to abnormally warm water conditions in the northeastern Pacific and you see that there is more going on.  However, Morton is more focused on Norway.  She is looking small picture again and that's why she is where she is right now.

  Looks to me like the industy and gov are on top of it but I guess the Huffingtonpost has to find some thing to huff about. :)
