Howie Garrett, Founder Orca Network - How They Raise Awareness & Protections for Whales
Description
Howie talks with Resilient Earth Radio about how they got started, what their scope is, and to keep an eye out for a new documentary about the Snake River in which he participates. He will be presenting on the next annual Ocean Life Symposium Friday October 18 (airs live 9am-2pm Pacific on both public radio and YouTube) which is produced by the producers and hosts of Resilient Earth Radio.
Why are sightings important?
The Southern Resident orcas' steep population decline reflects declining salmon runs, toxic contamination, and habitat loss throughout their critical habitat. Contributing whale sightings builds a community that cares about these precious whales, and informs and motivates involvement to restore salmon runs and protect whales and their essential habitats. Reports also document travel patterns and trends in habitat use.
