Orca Whales in Rosario Strait

Submitted by Island Adventures Whale Watching on Sat. Jul 17 2010

7/15/2010: We didn't have to go far to find whales today. Within thirty minutes of leaving the dock we spotted some orcas swimming southward in Rosario Strait. It was J-pod, and by the time we met up with them they were south of Bird Rocks. They were very surface active from the get go. As we arrived we saw one spyhop after another from adults as well as calves. Soon we also started seeing several breaches and cartwheels too. We ended up seeing more spyhops today than I've seen on any trip this year.

How You Can Help

Every one of us can make a difference. Pollution and lack of suitable food are the major factors that are threatening the Southern Resident Orca Whales.

Cleaning up the environment in which they live will not only promote their survival, but will benefit the entire ecosystem. There are many ways that you can help, and we hope that you do.
