Tim Ragen spent 15 years as a research biologist for NOAA, coordinated stellar sea lion recovery efforts, and then worked for 13 years with the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission. He has invaluable insight into what it takes to recover a species on the brink of extinction like the Southern Resident killer whales. Interestingly, Ragen supports a cull of seals and sea lions as a drastic measure to save decreasing Chinook salmon stocks, the preferred prey of the Southern Resident orcas, who do not eat marine mammals or sharks like other killer whales. Ragen asks all of us, what kind of world do we want to live in and are we doing all we can to protect that future?

Thank you for hosting such an informative podcast. I am constantly learning from your shows and this was heartbreaking to me but yet informative. what is my responsibility to do my part? I would do it 10 fold I don't know where to begin I live in Atlanta so I'm not near the beach or in a community near the sea but I want so desperately to try to make a difference and I would like to ask if you somehow can do a podcast on different ways citizens can make an impact with examples and direction. I personally love Seafood but I refuse to eat it anymore I will not give the Fisheries one red Cent. that's the only way I know how to make a difference so if you could do a podcast on that topic I think it would be wonderful I love your show and your guests was fantastic.
