Anthropogenic Impacts on Southern Resident Killer Whales: Implications for Conservation Strategies
Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) are a cultural icon of British Columbia with only 74 left alive. For our final project, my team and I analyzed the three major threats to SRKW - lack of prey availability, vessel disturbances, and pollution. We hope that our analysis highlights the impacts of these disruptions, while encouraging adequate conservation strategies for the rehabilitation of our beloved orcas.
