The federal Orca recovery plan observes, “Perhaps the single greatest change in food availability for resident killer whales since the late 1800s has been the decline of salmon in the Columbia River basin. Estimates of [historical] run size vary from 10 million fish [to perhaps] 30 million fish, with Chinook salmon being the predominant species present. Returns during the 1990s averaged only 1.1 million salmon, representing a decline of 90 percent or more from historical levels.”

The Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition represents some six million people who want to restore wild salmon to the Columbia River basin. All of us will benefit – and for the Orcas, it may be the only hope for survival.
