Tell Governor Ferguson: Save our Southern Resident orcas

Earlier this month, Tahlequah, a beloved Southern Resident orca, carried her second deceased calf in a public display of mourning for over a week. The loss of another young orca is catastrophic for this small, struggling population of mammals and it emphasizes the need to urgently restore their favorite food: Chinook salmon. Many of these fish are blocked from their spawning grounds by the four Lower Snake River dams. Removing them is a critical action in restoring these crucial salmon runs.

Washington’s new Governor Bob Ferguson’s support will be crucial to continue advancing dam service replacement planning and related salmon restoration projects. Tell Governor Ferguson to save Southern Resident orcas by restoring Chinook salmon runs and prioritizing Lower Snake River dam service replacements.
