It's Wildlife Wednesday!
Today I emailed Senator Maria Cantwell and asked her to follow the science to protect the Southern Resident Orcas, who live in my area. They are suffering due to the lack of salmon and their numbers are declining. This salmon scarcity can be alleviated by breaching four dams on the Snake River. Can you help our whale cousins? Here is some great information. I am a member of the Center for Whale Research.
