Recognizing killer whales as BC’s best symbol isn’t going to save them from extinction. But if everyone who voted for killer whales added their voice to calls for real change, we just might be able to continue celebrating #orcas for generations to come.

It is encouraging to see killer whales recognized as BC’s best symbol at a time when they need more visibility than ever, but the reality of the killer whale’s place in BC is troubling. #orcas #BritishColumbia

By summer, the #SalishSea feels less like a sanctuary and more like a freeway. Dozens of vessels crisscross the waters, chasing close encounters. Hundreds of tourists can surround #whales from sunrise to sunset.

“Some of these #streams have been walked for decades, so the power of seeing and understanding historical #salmon trends is being lost as well.” Stream walkers...possess an “unbelievable reservoir of knowledge,” @Duffling added. https://t.co/1Nnt9pSEwI 2025-09-06, 9:11 AM

Assessing returns to key streams is critical for estimating stocks, managing fisheries and #conservation, said @Duffling, wild salmon program director at @Raincoast. “Not having contracts in place as #salmon are returning to rivers is unprecedented."

We’re using #drones to find salmon cooling centres. After spending 2024 understanding the effects of low stream flow on #salmon, we’re focusing our efforts this year on another major concern for salmon in the Coldwater River: ironically, hot water.⬇️ https://t.co/s17YaLge7u
