The Southern Residents have been absent from their traditional inland Salish Sea social & hunting grounds for the previous 8 weeks. Today members of J pod, K pod & L87 "Onyx" were observed along with the newest member, 6-week old J56 with mom J31. Facing extinction they are suffering a critical food shortage and habitat degradation. There are only 76* remaining members. Filmed from shore. (My apologies ~ poor image quality through the first half of the video) *Update 8-6-19 CWR reported three adult orca missing and presumed dead reducing the population to just 73 individuals. Missing are J17 a 42-year-old female, K25 a 28-year-old male and L84 a 29 year old male.
