Comment on DFO Resident Killer Whale Recovery Strategies by aquagreen

aquagreen — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 06:33:00 +0000

British Columbian environmental groups called off plans to sue the Canadian government after it released a recovery strategy for killer whales Tuesday, about a year later than originally planned. The Canadian plan calls for ensuring that resident killer whales in Puget Sound and off Vancouver Island have an adequate and accessible food supply, reducing chemical and biological pollution, keeping human activities from disturbing the orcas and protecting their critical habitat. The report promises more specifics within two years of the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans accepting the plan. Canadian environmental groups praised the strategy for identifying specific whale habitat that needs protection. “Without this important part of the strategy, the future of the species would have truly been in doubt,” said Christianne Wilhelmson of Georgia Strait Alliance. She said action can now be taken to address pollution, noise and human interference in identified whale habitats. The Canadian strategy covers Puget Sound’s southern resident orcas as well as threatened killer whales that spend most of their time north of Vancouver Island. The U.S. government issued its own killer whale recovery plan in November 2006, after listing Puget Sound’s resident killer whale population as an endangered species in November 2005. The U.S. plan focuses on supporting salmon restoration, cleaning contaminated sites in Puget Sound, reducing pollution, evaluating and improving guidelines for vessel traffic in and around protected areas, preventing oil spills, and improving response plans should spills occur. The National Marine Fisheries Service also designated critical habitat for the orcas: an area covering about 2,500 square miles, encompassing part of Haro Strait and the waters around the San Juan Islands, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and all of Puget Sound.

Comment on Luna : the spirit of the whale by Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author of Whale Song

Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author of Whale Song — Mon, 07 May 2007 23:58:00 +0000

I can’t wait to see this movie!!! I have a particular interest in it. I am a killer whale lover and the bestselling author of Whale Song.

Killer whales have mesmerized me since I was quite young. I often visited Skana at the Vancouver Aquarium. But there is nothing like seeing them in the wild. I am always asked if I am native–not because I look it, but because of my natural affinity with whales and my interest in native legends. I lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands for many years.

This June I am doing a book tour to Vancouver and Victoria, and I am hoping to have time to go whale watching. For those of you who have never done this, it is something you’ll never forget. I think it will be the highlight of my trip (although selling my novels is exciting too).

I’ve followed the story of Luna over the years, and I am so looking forward to this movie. And I quite like Adam Beach! Maybe he’ll play the role of ‘Adam’ in Whale Song…the movie. lol

Now I have to get back to reading more of your wonderful blog!
