The herring fishery: Worth more swimming

The southern resident killer whales are an endangered species. The primary food of orcas is the chinook salmon. Salmon rely on herring as their main food source.

To protect our endangered orcas we need to reduce or cease the herring fishery. To adapt a conservation slogan from the forests: “Worth more swimming” these herring are.
