The government’s proposal, which is open for public comments until June 7, was lambasted by environmentalists for removing impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, for allowing project construction to begin before impact decisions are made, for making it easier to destroy fish habitat, and for granting cabinet the ability to exempt specific projects from the application of the jeopardy test for species at risk.

Tell Carney to stop this here:

Mark Carney's proposal to legally allow projects to go ahead even if they result in an entire species going extinct is directed at projects, such as ports and pipelines, that jeopardize the existence of BC's endangered southern resident killer whale population:

New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.

Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

The J-pod lost another orca calf. J42 gave birth to her first calf in October, but when researchers went to check on the kiddo’s development, he was nowhere to be found. This orca pod has been losing calves year after year, thanks to the loss of Chinook salmon runs and toxins in the water.

Clues for the #evolution of #menopause in whales — and humans?
https://www.npr.org/2024/03/22/1198909539/menopause-humans-whales-evolution

The evolution of menopause in #ToothedWhales https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07159-9

"menopause is something of an evolutionary blip. We are one of the few #animals to experience it... There are five species of toothed #whales that undergo menopause — short-finned #PilotWhales, #FalseKillerWhales, #KillerWhales, #narwhals and #belugas — making it the type of animal that is known to have evolved menopause most frequently."

#blackfish blijft een echte kijkaanrader!

Je zal hellholes zoals Boudewijn Seapark ook gaan bekijken voor wat ze echt zijn. Een dolfijn hoort net zo min in een badkuip als een orka / killerwhale.

For the CRASS and anti-yacht orca fraction fans amongst you, this fusion ORCRASS design emerged on the internets. One comrade decided to set up a t-shirt campaign for it.

This limited-edition t-shirt (you can also get it as a long-sleeve t-shirt, hoodie, crewneck sweatshirt or women slim tee) is available for purchase until July 13th and will benefit orca-related organizations.
