Killer Whales: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat! (Salish Sea Wild)

Most animals don’t like seeing their veterinarians, but when we make a killer whale house call in the open sea, the orcas practically jump into the boat. In this episode of Salish Sea Wild, SeaDoc and our conservation partners bring the latest high-tech gear into the fight to save endangered Southern Resident killer whales. With fewer than 75 remaining, each orca’s life is critically important to the survival of the entire population. We’re treating these amazing animals the same way medical doctors treat their VIP patients. So, who’s ready to tell a wild, 12,000-pound killer whale to stick his tongue out and say “Aaah”?

What is one of largest detrimental factors with the resident orcas ? It's the continuous presence of tour boats which follow the pods from sunrise to sunset.
