previous days - once up north and came down Rosario, once off the west side but stayed way south...
and on this day...they spent hours and hours in view from Lime Kiln...
the title of this post, because someone had asked me that question...
...however, that is once again an indicator that the salmon are scarce, so they are spreading out for miles...that too is why they need quiet seas, as much is at all possible...
...some question the big ships that are passing through...that's just it 'passing through'. The ECHO Program of the Vancouver Port Authority notifies vessels when Southern Residents are in the area and they slow down...granted it takes a few miles for a ship to slow it's speed but they are...it helps reduce the noise as the ship moves through...once through the seas quiet again.
...however, constant noise from small vessels contribute noise that sometimes is present most the the day...
...we need to put the whales first and 'become like a SRKW' and think about what we, as an orca, need in order to have a less stressed day, a day of being able to locate those few salmon, a day of not having to constantly be 'looking over your shoulder' to factor in that 'log' (i.e. kayak, paddle board, etc) or factor in that noise that just interrupted caring for my offspring...
...yes, please 'become that orca' and if more people would think that way there would be a greater chance of many changes to help these whales.
...okay, end of my...
so back to the day July 17th...
