2 years ago I had the opportunity to visit Washington, specifically Seattle, Roy, Tacoma and Puget Sound for 7 weeks and while there I saw the Orcas in the ocean. BEST experience of my life.
Great. Great. Great work!!❤
Please continue reporting and start creating effective public awareness programs to support efforts like this….
Please give them the space to survive 😢
It is about time the US military helped them, rather than using them as weapons.
I am all for preserving them BUT USE SOMEONE OTHER THAN COAST GUARD!!!!!!!!
These are orcas. We don’t use the term “killer whale” anymore. Cetaceans include all dolphins, whales and porpoises.
This is a great effort by the coastguard, but as said here, there needs to be strong regulation. Should have started ~ 10 years ago.
