You don’t have to remove the dams. Build fish ladders-and BAN THE USE OF GLYSOPHASE.

Sure... destroy the dams. But all the people doing this should now ardently start supporting the next generation of small salt nuclear reactors -- which are inherently safe and incredibly efficient.

"Hey! Did you just shoot me and take a tissue sample?! WTF?!" Orcinus Ater

Yeah that will happen in about oh, 200 more years as fast as the Department of Fish and Game moves. My brother owns a charter fishing boat in Eureka, CA and the Feds won't even fund salmon fisheries to provide salmon fishery for northern CA. They haven't had a salmon season for a decade because of that lack of funding. And then, in the same area, there are dams on the Klamath they and the Tribes have been fighting to get removed for decades. Humans will be extinct for decades before those dams are removed, and the removal will probably be nature itself.

हवसी दरिंदा😂😂😂

Splitters are ruining ecology/ biology.

4:33 I laughed out loud. It caught me so off guard i couldn't helped it, 😄

You have the best English enunciation I've ever heard.

Genetically modified species.

Your channel is addicting ❤

Orcas

No viewer discretion? 😂

First video I've ever watched on this channel because it popped in my feed as a suggestion and I learned so much about orcas in this one short video it's amazing how much information you managed to get into it. Thanks so much

I just found your channel and a long time watcher of Ocean Conservation Namibia. Subscribed & thank you for this interview.

I've thought for years tht Killer Whales represented several cryptic species. Maybe because I'm a bird guy where that is common but everything I've learned about Killer Whales over the years has always suggested to me that they were more than one species.

4:40 is that u?

Good to know the Biden Administration is at least doing one thing right. Let the Salmon through.

Someone broke the treaty.

In this day and age, why don't these dams have fish ladders? Crazy stupid not to have them.

So, I'm dumb. Are we still defining species as "able to breed and reproduce with each other" or no? Like, how is this different from dogbreeds, who's breeding populations are artificially isolated from one another long enough to be physically and behaviorally distinct?

Reshapping??😅

I've seem a lot of material about "wildlife accessible" (for lack of a better term) dams. Dams designed specifically to allow fish and other water wildlife through the dam while still retaining dam function (like flood prevention, etc.). Do you have any info on whether those are truly effective in not disturbing fish populations?

You had me until you started talking about tearing down dams and about "Sacred Samon"...We can raise millions of salmon in fish farms and turn them loose without tearing down dams that are helping with human populations. Last thing to remember is extinction is actually a normal occurrence on this planet...Sometimes there is no fix and believing that so-called tribal people know anything more than the rest of us is insulting to sat the least...

🤔😁🌭❄️?

She's hiding them ...? Thinking someone gonna take them from her?😅😅😅

Please make a video on the shark-liver feeding.

This is not difficult. They are too big to be dolphins, so they are called whales. Duh. And it's not "degrading" to the whale. They really don't give a crap what we call them.

ridiculous, had to turn a info video into a political stunt. If you think for one second that the killer whales are going to die off because there are no salmon then you are a clown. Like the most dangerous and smartest animal in the World cant find something else to eat and will just die! Would be like saying American Indians would die if there were no more buffalo or corn.

That’s bull leave nature alone every time humans get involved we screw up

the problem with this kind of nonsense is that people don't stop to consider what language actually is. it's communication using abstractions, which requires higher-level reasoning ability. I am willing to consider the possibility that a dog can be self aware and look at himself in the mirror and wonder about his reflection. I'm NOT willing to consider the possibility that the dog understands the word "who," which is simply too abstract a concept. And with these buttons, the dog purportedly constructs semi-grammatical sentence constructions like, "Bunny want treats" or whatever. That is TOO sophisticated. Obviously we know dogs want treats. But there's a world of difference between wanting a treat and being able to construct a sentence about wanting a treat.

Thank you so much, this video is fascinating.

Our boats are full of food, and they know this, and they are smart enough to figure out how to get that food. They hunt and kill everrything else in the ocean. Why should we be considered "special".

Kulfi cold

Beauty😊😊😊❤❤❤

In my opinion, climate change is a dicey subject. With 8 billion humans on the planet, yah we change things for sure. An understanding of the natural cycles of the earth is imperative. I am enjoying your science based sharing.

So funny in so cute

2:30 in you still ARENT ANSWERING HOW THEY ARE CHANGING.. NEXT.

Tons of time for the past 2 months I've explained to people that killer whales don't kill people in the wild and that they don't hunt people. And now we have geniuses jumping into a pod of killer whales. That chubby guy seems to be going for a Darwin award literally jumping into a pod of Biggs killer Whales, which hunt Marine mammals.

What has been the biggest change on the ecosystem in the last 40-50 years? It is not the dams. I am not necessarily for or against the dams but let’s be real. The biggest change is the amount of predators on the salmon. #1 being the amount of Sea Lions and seals. Their numbers have exponentially increased putting the majority of pressure on salmon over any other threat. In reality in comparison the dams are a drop in the bucket . Eliminating the dams will not address or correct the salmon plight unless you address the explosion of Sea Lions Seals and all the other predators that feed on the salmon.

Seals and sea lions are for more influential on Salmon numbers than dams

Thank You Fukushima?

Вот это нужно показывать а не сиськи и баб

Survive the Savage Sea by Dougal Robertson Sheridan House, 1994 - Biography & Autobiography - 217 pages In June 1972, the 43-foor schooner Lucette was attacked by killer whales and sank in 60 seconds. What happened next is almost incredible. In an inflatable rubber raft, with a 9 foot fiberglass dinghy to tow it, Dougal Robertson and his family were miles from any shipping lanes. They had emergency rations for only three days and no maps, compass, or instruments of any kind. After their raft sank under them, they crammed themselves into their tiny dinghy. For 37 days using every technique of survival they battled against 20-foot waves, marauding sharks, thirst, starvation, and exhaustion, adrift in the vast reaches of the Pacific before their ordeal was ended by a Japanese fishing boat. The Robertsons' strong determination shines through the pages of this extraordinary book which describes movingly their daily hopes and fears, crises and triumphs, tensions and heartbreaks.

defo interested in the ones that only eat the shark liver. How many shark livers are required to feed a whole pod of whales?! Sounds mental

the mediteran orcas doing i relatet as a defnce territorial doing , what i think also think about 1000&thousend all nice clean windyachtowner that do no spearfing , i think might a bit relatet. new to me ther is a highseork , but i done read off some sothpole orcas .,that might be the same .

Ok breaching the dams seems like a poor plan. You don't seem to mention the other side of the argument for not breaching the dams. What impacts would this have on other species? What about creating paths for salmon to pass the dams? They have done this on other river systems. This seems like a better solution if possible.

STOP STOP STOP calling them Killer Whales !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually Spækhugger is Danish, it should be translated as blubber-stealer rather than blubber-chopper Spæk means blubber in Danish while hugger has the dual meaning of chopper or stealer The name came from whalers, who called Orcas blubber-stealers because they would "steal" the blubber from the whales killed by the whalers. The Norwegian Name for Orca is Spekkhogger (sometimes spelled Spekkhugger) I am sure it has the same origin as the Danis word, but I am not sure if it can translate as blubber-stealer like the Danish word (it would be nice if someone from Norway can clarify this)

I love Orcas and I'm glad they are out there protecting themselves and bringing hell in their home habitat. Very intelligent and beautiful animals.

,,,,,,,,, You can't say "IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT KILL WHALES" Everything we know about whales Helps us understand ALL WHALES,,,, Dumbassss)&##$$&R
