Shownotes:

2:34 Salmon expert Misty MacDuffee on the report from 31 experts on how to save the southern resident orcas from “bright extinction.” This population will be fully extinct within the next 100 years if we don’t turn this situation around.

6:50 The importance of saving BC’s iconic population so we can still be celebrating them a century from now. This population will be fully extinct within the next 100 years if we don’t turn this situation around.

8:04 What can be done to save the southern resident orcas? “These whales are not getting enough to eat.” Hatchery fish are NOT the answer.

11:00 “The solutions that government has focused on have not helped the whales and in some cases have perpetuated the problem that’s facing the whales.”

14:12 How much are governments really spending to save the orcas?

16:00 What we need to do so that the orcas have salmon. “It all comes back to salmon.”

19:24 The salmon are shrinking... and the disappearance of older fish.

21:48 Why Chinook are different from all other salmon.

28:00 “Chinook are a third of the size than they were 100 years ago.” Hatchery Chinook are bred for humans, not for orcas.

29:00 Why the orcas need Americans to breach the Snake River dam.

33:45 Fixing the Fraser River.

40:25 On Raincoast Conservation and the different things they do to protect life in the water and on the land.

44:40 Why salmon are NOT a keystone species. They are more than that!

55:00 On what gives her hope and the importance of hope. Three things she never thought would happen in the Salish Sea.
