...this press release regarding the recent sonar near Haro Strait...
...and this article about sonar causing temporary deafness in dolphins...
...and this blog from the Marine Mammal Center, reporting a dead orca calf near Monterey Bay...
...which reminds me of the recent death of T44, a known transient orca. I wonder how that necropsy is going? It's quite rare to get a chance to study a transient in such detail. It wouldn't be surprising to discover that T44 was chock-full of PCBs, DDTs, and other toxins. I wonder how that will compare with the levels of toxins found in other transients and residents?
