A grey Whale has once again claimed the area off Davis Bay and Roberts Creek area to feed. They are a treat for shorebased viewing as they feed very close to shore as they scoop their food up. Did you know that most Grey Whales are left handed, so to speak. They feed scooping muck and small critters from the bottom favouring one side their mouth. This wears their baleen down more on the side they favour.<BR/><BR/>Another baleen whale, the Humpback feeds in deeper waters frequently close to a steep shore or underwater pinnacle where their favourtie food, krill tend to swarm. It's great to finally have a few more of these majestic whales back in our reports. We also had one Minke Whale reported, but they can be quite difficult to spot as they travel great distances after their usual three breaths at the surface, unless they stay around to feed.<BR/><BR/>Of the Transient Bigg's Orca, we have had T063, Chainsaw roaming our inside waters again. He and his family pod tend to make a yearly appearance, but they usually spend most of their time farther south in the US waters. There was a time, not that long ago, when this pod was considered to be 'California Transients'. We have other pods reported in this issue also, but no word yet on the Northern Resident Orca coming into the inside waters.<BR/><BR/>Rounding out this report are reports of Pacific White Sided Dolphins, and a few Dall's and Harbour Porpoise.<BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1SWP1yn-WoB42b3obifj6QgumTgzG2p3M" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1SWP1yn-WoB42b3obifj6QgumTgzG2p3M" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><BR/><!-- Head Preamble Media Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Cover Image:</b></i><BR/><!-- Head Media Caption Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: small; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Gray Whale milling about around Roberts Creek and Davis Bay</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Geordie Harrower, Sechelt, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --></span></span></div><!-- Preamble Media Title --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

The dolphin would ride the pressure waves created by the ships—an activity known as bow riding, which dolphins and other cetaceans have likely been engaging in since ships first set out to sea. The Greeks, one of the great early seafaring peoples, recorded dolphins bow riding in the eastern Mediterranean and Aegean Seas.<br /><br />Yet in modern times, cetaceans are bow riding alongside motorized vessels. It’s a risky maneuver given that ships and ship noise are harmful to the animals.

And, the arrival of smartphone apps has empowered individuals to report directly from their sighting location.<br /><br />But, behind this buzz of activity, data collectors – which are often environmental non-governmental organisations – can face challenges. In their mission to understand natural phenomena better, voluntary groups are sometimes stymied by lack of stable funding and resources.<br /><br />The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group hosted a cetacean identification and recording workshop recently in the National Biodiversity Data Centre in Waterford.

The book is an ode to Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), which are among the most abundant animals in the world by mass. Each several centimeters long, krill cloud the ocean in swarms that can span 20 kilometers. They’re a linchpin of ocean ecosystems — a key food source for whales, penguins and other marine life.

Although we usually have the T002Cs around the Lund and Okeover Inlet area, another family pod the T023s seem to have taken over the area for now. Others, not all individually identified and could even be a few of the Resident or fish eating Orca, have also been seen from the south by Gabriola and Howe Sound up through Discovery Passage and into the inlets. Mostly they are in their smaller family groups. <BR/><BR/>Pacific White Sided Dolphins have also returned in some numbers up to around 150, so they too must be finding food while avoiding the Bigg's Orca. We also had one report of Common Dolphins with their orange colouration rather than the grey of Pacific White Sided Dolphins.<BR/><BR/>Of the other varieties of Cetacea, Dall's Porpoise have been seen, while the Harbour Porpoise have been their usual shy selves. We are seriously missing the larger whales, such as Humpbacks and Greys, who seem to be slower at showing themselves this year.<BR/><BR/>Reminder that it's pupping season for the Harbour Seals and the Moms leave their young on shore while they go to feed sometimes up to 24 hours. If you see one, please stay back and keep pets away. If the animal is in danger, injured, distressed, or dead, call the DFO Marine Mammal hotline at 1-800-465-4336. Locally, in Powell River, if you are concerned, give us a call to evaluate the situation and if needed, we can pick up and send the animal to rehab. Of interest, we had an entanglement call which we responded to for evaluation. It turned out to be River Otters mating. They can sound distressed as the male tends to bite the female to hold her and keep her from getting away.<BR/><BR/>We are pleased to have our Magazine section back with great updates in the news.<BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1AwJhfINc43b2z_tiExmkF1A7f4JaFzNk" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1AwJhfINc43b2z_tiExmkF1A7f4JaFzNk" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><i><b>Cover Image: </b><BR/>Pacific White Sided Dolphins in a small bay off of Van Anda</i></b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Micheline Macauley, Texada Island, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

<b>Real Time Monitoring Station Live Update: </b> <br>
Our live camera feed is at<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. Work continues on a resolution for the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images from the Beach Gardens Marina camera. Our second (backup) live stream mounted in Powell River appears when the Beach Gardens camera is down. We appreciate your patience.

They've been known to come into our inside waters on the rare occasion, but it is rare as they are mostly seen in open waters and the north coast of BC. We strive to record and provide all the reports in our updates, but find it difficult to corroborate sightings if we only hear rumours long after the fact and with no details. Every year we remind people not to assume that someone else will report the sighting please. <BR/><BR/>Humpback Whales are extremely slow in reappearing this year, but as of writing this, a report has come in of one by Horseshow Bay while another couple were up by Brown's Bay a few days ago.<BR/><BR/>Transient Biggs Orca are stalking the Vancouver Island shoreline hunting seals and seal lions while the smaller Pacific White Sided Dolphins and Porpoise are staying out their way.<BR/><BR/>There are definite signs of more activity; or is it that more people are getting on the water? Keep your eyes open and report please.<BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Be-4_AY40lG33cWirRsq-FElKsu9MJEV" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Be-4_AY40lG33cWirRsq-FElKsu9MJEV" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><i><b>Cover Image: </b><BR/>Transient Bigg's Killer Whale breaking the surface near Okisollo Channel</i></b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Garry Henkel, <a href="http://www.aboriginaljourneys.com/" target="_blank">Aboriginal Journeys Whale and Grizzly Bear Tours</a><BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

Grey (or Gray) Whales most frequently travel along our outer coast as they make their way back from breeding grounds to their primary feeding grounds. If we are lucky, sometimes they come into our inside waters, and even spend time feeding very close to shore as they scoop their food from the bottom.<BR/><BR/>Pacific White Sided Dolphins and even some Dall's Porpoise passed through staying well clear of the Bigg's orca to avoid being hunted. What are missing are the Humpback Whales although there must be some around.<BR/><BR/>Our main photo this issue is the amazing sign produced by Barry Rice to help us promote our Earth Week Event.

The family pods called, T002Cs, T086As, T077s, T101s and the lone T087 were all seen passing Powell River. With the sea lions grouped up to feed by the herring fishery on the Vancouver Island side of Georgia Strait, it's little wonder the Bigg's, meat eating Orca, are around. The Harbour Porpoise seen just after these Bigg's appeared to be resting on the surface, as they tend do after being chased. Some Pacific White Sided Dolphins in some medium sized groups were also in the vacinity.<BR/><BR/>Last minute word on where the Northern Resident Orca, the A42s, got to was Cape Mudge, just below Campbell River. We also have other Orca reports along both sides of Georgia Strait, from Howe Sound to above Campbell River, that we dodn't have identifications on. Rumour also has some of the Southern Resident Killer Whales at least in the lower Georgia Strait. Now where are the Humpbacks and Greys?<BR/><BR/>We also have one report of a whale, possibly a Minke in Boundary Pass. There seem to be more Minke and Fin Whales moving into Georgia Strait over the past few years.

Dept. of Fisheries confirmed the sighting of this lone whale foraging in the Blackfish Sound area for about a week. The last DFO sighting recorded was in 1984. Sperm Whales are extremely deep divers whose favourite food tends to be Humboldt Squid, the species that are also known as giant squid. These whales have also been recorded removing Halibut off commercial fishing gear.<BR/><BR/>Our reports include two Humpback Whales spotted while Orca in pods of varying sizes are spread around the inside waters with no confirmation as to who they might be, or even if they are Transient Bigg's or Resident Orca. There were no clear reports of them hunting, so could be either species of Orca.<BR/><BR/>Pacific White Sided Dolphins too have been back and forth foraging in groups up to as many as around 200 all throughout the Gerogia Strait and into the inlets above.<BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=16GpNXF5UvG6eRkCu3b1nQu-JZlrse4cQ" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=16GpNXF5UvG6eRkCu3b1nQu-JZlrse4cQ" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><i><b>Cover Image: </b><BR/>Flashback of a close knit family of Killer Whales</i></b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Garry Henkel, <a href="http://www.aboriginaljourneys.com/" target="_blank">Aboriginal Journeys Whale and Grizzly Bear Tours</a><BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

That's over 100 km in a day! They even spent some time rubbing on one of the local beaches - see the great video clip.<BR/> <BR/>With some Transient Bigg's Orca close by in the Powell River area at the same time, we wonder if there was some confrontation between the two species. Many questions were raised due to whale behaviour and with the number of Orca seen at one time. The A42 family pod now consists of 6 animals with the newest calf, but there were another couple of Orca in the area at the same time. Confusing the issue was seeing seagulls picking up what looked like bits of blubber floating on the surface, which would only happen from hunting the many seals and sealions in the area since salmon bits sink quickly. Are the fish eating Resident Orca starting the change their diet or did the A42s disturb the other two Orca on the hunt and a kill? I could only hear echoloation clicks on the hydrophone, so no way to tell who those other two whales were behind the A42s. They seemed to vanish as the A42s continued towards Vivian Island.<BR/><BR/>Pacific White Sided Dolphins were also on the move. They appeared, at times to be getting out of the area, or away from the Transient Bigg's Orca who would appear soon after.<BR/><BR/><BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1PxQiyWLUNXqInWGSp3FDETGVg_bbbc8j" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1PxQiyWLUNXqInWGSp3FDETGVg_bbbc8j" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Northern Resident Killer Whale surfacing for a breath near Harwood Island</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Michelle Pennell, Powell River, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

Although we believe the unidentified Killer Whales may be Bigg's also, we could not confirm in time for this short report. Although they were closer to shore, they were difficult to see in the lumpy seas.<BR/><BR/>Most Humpback Whales seem to be in other areas with only a couple being spotted across from Campbell River. Again, the weather has not made it easy. The report of a couple of large whales by Mayne Island may also have been Humpbacks, but with Grey and the ocassional Fin Whale appearing in Georgia Strait, without a photo, we could not confirm.<BR/><BR/>Pacific White Sided Dolphins appear to be spread out in the upper Georgia Strait, with rumours only of them running back inside Sechelt inlet.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1qNwL5TDXADeMLcT-ZuExc-byw9HDX-T9" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1qNwL5TDXADeMLcT-ZuExc-byw9HDX-T9" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>A pod of Killer Whales heading north near Lambert Channel</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Louis Jobidon, Hornby Island, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's great to know that Pacific White Sided Dolphins have returned in some numbers into our inside waters. They frequently have a tendency to travel afield during the Autumn months then reappear right around this time concentrating on feeding more than play.<br /><br />Orca reports have included some Transient Bigg's and A42s of the Northern Resident Orca, with no confirmation of the Southern Resident populations that are usually around at this time. Weather has been a factor with a good few days of fog reducing visibility and some lumpy seas making sightings a challenge.<br /><br />Humpback Whale reports are fewer than the past month with a a few sightings indicating that they have spread out from the more populated areas. There are unconfirmed rumours that some have moved into various mainland inlets.<br /><br /><br /><br /><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /><br /></span><br />

Our live camera feed is at<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>.

To the human eye, big ships cruising along the west side of San Juan Island this summer might have looked like they were traveling in slow motion. To the perceptive ears of killer whales, those same ships might have sounded a little bit quieter.<br />
<br />
That’s because more than half of commercial ships transiting Haro Strait — between San Juan and Vancouver Island — voluntarily slowed down as part of a two-month experiment by the Port of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Port wanted to test how slowing vessels reduces underwater noise — and whether that could help endangered killer whales...... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://crosscut.com/2018/01/orcas-slower-ships-noise-pollution-washington-state-puget-sound-killer-whales/" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

Restrictions on vessel traffic have helped keep more boaters farther from critically endangered southern-resident killer whales, while not harming the whale-watch industry, a new study has found.<br />
<br />
Federal restrictions enacted in 2011 require whale-watch boats and other vessels to stay at least 200 yards away from orca whales. That’s a long way — two football-field lengths — and doubled the buffer. Yet whale-watch tourism continues to grow, the technical memorandum from NOAA found.<br />
<br />
Lack of food — namely salmon in Puget Sound — as well as high levels of contaminants in their environment, and disturbance by vessel noise are the primary threats identified by the agency to the Puget Sound orcas’ survival.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article191681624.html" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

Marine researchers will take to the water and sky in the Salish Sea this year in a major effort to help save endangered southern resident killer whales.<br />
<br />
Bankrolled by the federal government’s $1.5 billion Oceans Protection Plan, researchers will conduct numerous studies to learn more about the killer whales and why they are in such peril. Just 76 of the animals are thought to exist.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/researchers-take-to-water-and-sky-in-major-effort-to-save-endangered-killer-whales" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

Why does Canada take a much greater risk with its salmon fisheries than Alaska?<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game issued an ‘Emergency Order’ closing all Chinook salmon fisheries (sport and commercial) in Southeast Alaska marine waters. In doing so, they acknowledged their responsibility to protect not just Alaska’s salmon, but also the low numbers of Chinook returning to northern British Columbia, the Fraser River, Washington and Oregon.<br />
<br />
ADF&G’s Emergency Order states, “The in-season data and stock specific information cannot be ignored when conservation of wild stocks is the foundation of the Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fisheries Policy and the Pacific Salmon Treaty. Therefore, it is imperative that Alaska offer relief now for these stocks, with a focus on protecting future production.”<br />
<br />
There are just as many warning signs that Chinook (Spring) salmon in British Columbia are also returning in poor numbers. So why does Canada take a much greater risk with its salmon fisheries than Alaska? Fisheries on the Nass, Skeena, and Fraser Rivers illustrate the point. The Nass return is 27% of average, the Skeena’s 23%, and to date, the Albion test fishery on the Fraser shows some of the lowest returns on record. Yet these fisheries remain open. Prioritizing fisheries over fish facilitates their long term decline ...... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="https://www.raincoast.org/2017/08/alaskans-close-fisheries-to-protect-bc-chinook-salmon-while-canada-fishes-on/" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

The state of Oregon sued the agrochemical company Monsanto on Thursday over pervasive pollution from PCBs, the toxic industrial chemicals that have accumulated in plants, fish and people around the globe for decades. The company called the lawsuit baseless.<br />
<br />
... A variety of fish species in Oregon are vulnerable because the PCBs accumulate in their fatty tissues. When seals, eagles, osprey, orca whales and humans eat those fish, that contamination is passed on, the lawsuit alleged.<br />
<br />
In some cases, dead orca whales that washed up on shore have been treated as hazardous waste, the lawsuit said.<br />
<br />
“PCBs cause a wide range of systemic toxic effects in humans and animals and can seriously impair the endocrine, neurologic, and reproductive systems,” according to the lawsuit.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://registerguard.com/rg/news/local/36309212-75/oregon-sues-monsanto-for-100-million-over-pcb-water-soil-pollution.html.csp#" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

A U.S. scientist is trying to stop right whale entanglements with fishing gear, which garnered increased attention after a spate of deaths this past summer.<br />
<br />
Mark Baumgartner, a biologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass., has been studying North Atlantic right whales since 1999. He said in recent years there's been a shift toward conservation to try and save the species because they could be extinct in 20-25 years. There are fewer than 500 of the whales remaining and the population has been declining for the past seven years. ...... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-scientist-ropeless-traps-right-whales-1.4465276" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

The plight of the large whales at the hands of commercial whalers both historically and currently, is well documented. As a result of intensive and unregulated hunting, population figures plummeted, some even went extinct (the northeast Atlantic population of the north Atlantic right whale) and only with the protection afforded by the moratorium on whaling in 1986 have some of these species slowly started to recover.<br />
<br />
However, the hunting of small whales and dolphins, although illegal in many countries, remains mostly unregulated and therefore the true scale of...... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://www.onegreenplanet.org/environment/eating-whales-and-dolphins-into-extinction/" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div>

One of the clips has Humpback Whales fending off the Orca while a sealion or two hides behind the larger animals. Every year, we have Southern Resident pods, particularly J-Pod, show up in the northern Georgia Strait area, but have not had any confirmed reports or photos of either Northern or Southern Resident Orca. It is possible that some of them are showing in our Unidentified Killer Whale section, as they are usually due in Powell River - Comox area December 26.<BR/><BR/>Of the still many Humpback Whales reported, there are reports of them singing for longer periods of time in Georgia Strait between Comox and Powell River. I can only imagine what the divers heard, as I was listening on my hydrophone and it was amazing. We have had them practice in short bits of song previously and in 2013 there was one singing at the top of Johnstone Strait around October or November.<BR/><BR/>We thank you all for your support and trust this holiday season is good to you. Wishing you and yours the very best for a happy, healthy 2018!<BR/><BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ivXDAjlSs3MQ2LClocdsssi1nhtaaiCp" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ivXDAjlSs3MQ2LClocdsssi1nhtaaiCp" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Humpback Whales and Sea Lions between Rebecca Rocks and Harwood Island</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Michelle Pennell, Powell River, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

<b>Wishing you and Yours All the Best of the Holiday Season and for 2018! </b> <br>
As another year comes to a close, we are grateful to the many people who help us make WOWs a growing success. From our observers to our volunteers, readers and donors, we couldn't do it without you.<br><br>
Our online volunteers contribute untold hours of their time to analyze and keep our Sightings Reports and Maps running and published smoothly, and hope you are enjoying your personalized submitted reports maps.<br><br>
Our 'on the ground' volunteers work to educate the public about the species in our waters, the threats to them, and respectful viewing. They are also the ones who work towards some of our in-house fundraising efforts such as raffles, events and auctions as well as animal rescue and response.<br><br>
Our observers from the general public and our Corporate Members of the whale watching communities provide the valuable data we publish and make freely available.<br><br>
Our donors provide the needed funds to cover costs enabling us to distribute this gathered information to the public and fulfill our official Charity mandate.<br><br>
Our readers and followers from the general public to educators and researchers utilizing our regularly published data, set the bar high in keeping us going.<br><br>
WOWs is the only sightings data collector in BC who freely and regularly publishes data findings and maps, and we will continue to make our data available. 2017 had a 32% increase in reported sightings, and the year is not quite over. <br><br>
Volunteer and programs coordination is an art that takes dedicated people, especially with a total of long and short term volunteers numbering just over forty. With the extent of our efforts in 2017, and lack of volunteers' time and funds to recruit for specific needs, a few projects and programs from last year were unable to be completed. We are working hard to change this.<br><br>
2018 holds many programs and projects being attended to and being planned. With our recent official CRA Registered Charity status, a few doors have been opened and even more paper / computer work, hopefully with rewards to better provide both online and on the ground programs.<br><br>
We look forward to your continued support and a great year ahead.<br>
<b>Thank You All!</b><br><br>

We even managed a photo from our streaming web cam. It was in December 2012 when Mom A42 Sonora had her calf A103 Albion, named after the point she was first observed at. Around that same time there was a new Transient Bigg's calf born also in Malaspina Strait which created some confusion in our reports without photos to confirm Albion's identification until January 2013. Keep your eyes open and don't forget to let us know because the Southern Resident Orca tend to make their way into these upper reaches of Georgia Strait usually around Christmas also.<BR/><BR/>At least eight Humpback Whales are staying in the upper Georgia Strait also. I have some concerns for their food being taken by the krill draggers out there. Krill is the bottom of a productive food chain feeding many species from birds to progressively larger fish and whales. Dragging for them destroys ecosystems with huge bycatch consequences. The primary commercial value of krill is vitamins for human consumption.<BR/><BR/>All of us at WOWs would like to wish you the best of the Holidays!<BR/><BR/><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=15IMZA9m4FPQQ3yFqfqpD7ar-qnWeVjHF" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=15IMZA9m4FPQQ3yFqfqpD7ar-qnWeVjHF" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Northern Resident Killer Whales, A42s, passing the Society's webcam</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

<b>Charity Donation Receipts: </b> <br>
WOWS is please to announce that we have been granted CRA Registered Charity status for the purposes of the Income Tax Act of Canada, allowing us to issue official tax deductible donation receipts starting with cash donations you have so kindly contributed to our efforts throughout 2017. Your Donations allow us to continue, and are greatly appreciated helping us cover costs. <br><br>
To date, we have volunteers only, with 40 volunteers during 2017 giving time and huge efforts to assist us at various levels, times and events. With good financial management and fantastic volunteers, we have come a long ways with less funding than most. We are now in need of funding sufficient to hire for volunteer and programs coordination as well as cover IT support costs. We can't do this without your support and hope that you might consider donating with this ability to receive an official tax deductible receipt. <br><br>
2017 Canadian Official Tax deductible receipts for cash donations will be issued starting in January. If you have changed your email address during the year, kindly contact us so we can update our information. Thank you for your donations. <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/support/donate" target="_blank"> Donations Page</a><br><br>
<b>Real Time Monitoring Station Live Update: </b> <br>
Our live camera feed is at<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. We continue to work on a resolution for the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images from the Beach Gardens Marina camera. Our second (backup) live stream mounted in Powell River appears when the Beach Gardens camera is down. We appreciate your patience.
<BR><br> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! Our newest volunteers are finishing their training and are doing great.<br><br>
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us? Updated Job Postings are in the works for 2018, so stay tuned.

Since then, the method spread to at least 16 whales by the end of 2015 in the waters near Telegraph Cove.<br /><br />“As far as we know, this behaviour has not been seen for humpbacks in places other than B.C.,” she said at a University of B.C. marine mammal conference over the weekend. The closest similar feeding behaviour involves Bryde’s whales in the Gulf of Thailand.<br /><br />The way trap feeding works is the whale floats with its mouth open at the surface, while using its pectoral fins to slowly draw water towards it — along with juvenile herring.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/new-feeding-behaviour-adopted-by-humpback-whales-off-vancouver-island" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><!-- Head Magazine Group Header --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br><br><b>CANADA</b><br></div><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.hakaimagazine.com/news/bowhead-whales-exfoliate-too/" target="_blank"><b>Bowhead Whales Like to Exfoliate, Too</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Hakai Magazine</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><!-- Head Youtube Frame --><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><BR><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iXjpyhdYxbg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></div><!-- Tail Youtube Frame --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Everyone enjoys a good scratch.

Are they really as happy as they seem? Are they laughing with us, or at us? But one of the more serious – and better researched – questions is, how does their natural sonar actually work?<br /><br />We know in general terms how cetaceans echolocate – they generate high frequency noises which echo off an object, thereby building up a sound-picture in the brain which allows them to work out their surroundings, any possible threats and the presence of prey. Other animals do it too, most obviously bats, and humans have built machines that do the same thing.<br /><br />The question, however, is this: how do they do it so well? The accuracy and directionality of the biological sonar of porpoises wildly outperforms anything humans can design, and there's no obvious reason for it....... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com/physics/the-physics-of-porpoises" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-42066646" target="_blank"><b>Archaeologists exploring the secrets of Sanday whales</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">BBC Scotland</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-42066646" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/1639A/production/_98843019_catasandarchaeologistsuncoverwhalebones.jpg" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Archaeologists based in Orkney are investigating a number of 19th century whale skeletons recovered during a dig at a neolithic site.<br />The bones were buried in pits cut into the site at Cata Sand, in Sanday.<br />There are description in the historical records ...... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-42066646" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/11/ten-sperm-whales-stranded-beached-indonesia-video-spd/" target="_blank"><b>See a Rescue Effort to Save 10 Stranded Whales</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">National Geographic</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><!-- Head Youtube Frame --><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><BR><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zd8H-Y98ZAE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></div><!-- Tail Youtube Frame --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Saving one 40-ton sperm whale is a huge feat—so when 10 live sperm whales washed ashore off the coast of Aceh in northeastern Indonesia, it required a small army of wildlife volunteers.<br /><br />In an emailed statement from WWF Indonesia, representative Aryo Tjiptohandono said the WWF team, environmental officials from the Indonesian government, and the Indonesian Navy were dispatched to Ujung Kareng Beach on Monday morning.

Orca seem to be transitting areas while many Humpbacks are still staying throughout the Georgia Strait. We had one day which appeared to have a mass southerly movement of Humpbacks, but their movements slowed with some returning northward or staying around the western end of Vancouver Island. Weather has been hindering observations making it difficult to see whales in the lumpy seas, but a few decent days brought in some Pacific White Sided Dolphin reports as well as a few of the smallest Cetaceans in our waters, Dall's and Harbour Porpoise.<br /><br />Our Magazine always has such great and informative articles compiled from web sources. A great job done by our Magazine Editor. We hope you enjoy them and learn a bit more about our global oceans and issues in the news. For example, did you know that there are ten distinct types of Orca in the world? The magazine has a piece about some of the Antarctic Orca with some underwater footage.<br /><br /><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1KzIvVXgcIiODTe5FWSkUJDYCV-rMmz7R" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1KzIvVXgcIiODTe5FWSkUJDYCV-rMmz7R" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Pacific White Sided Dolphin being its playful self</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Garry Henkel, Aboriginal Journeys Whale Watching and Grizzly Bear Tours<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

<b>Real Time Monitoring Station Live Update: </b> <br>
Our live camera feed is at<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. We still have transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images from the Beach Gardens Marina camera which would translate to static for our hydrophone (underwater listening) stream. We continue to work on a resolution. You may also have noticed that we have a second live stream that appears when the Beach Gardens camera is down. This is a lesser quality camera we have as a backup mounted in Powell River. We still managed to have a couple of whale sightings from both cameras.
<BR><br> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! We'd also like to welcome our new volunteers who have started training.<br><br>
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us?

The ones heading south must have come back, even though it was high tide; we doubted that they could go up the Nanaimo river, but never was able to verify if they came back. We were able to see the whales go back and forth in among Nanamio Harbour, as they seemed to be zig zagging and diving and then popping back up in different areas, but staying around for about 30 - 45 minutes. This pattern continued until eventually they went past Protection Island and crossing the channel and heading between Jack Point and Gabriola Island. We left only because we were getting cold, after having been there for over 3 hours. At one point, could see through binoculars one whale slap it's tail fluke.
The group of whales seemed to include at least one young Orca, while the others were bigger, but still seemed smallish, however, able to see with the naked eye, binoculars were very helpful for more detail.
We unfortunately did not have a proper camera, and what is captured on my cell phone, is only spouts of spray and some body movement. We were surprised to see a Prince of Whales, and two Whale Watching Vancouver boats that were watching them until they went off before the whales did. We were wondering if the whales and boats had come from around the other side of Protection Island or Newcastle Island, as all of a sudden the whales and the boats were in the harbour. There were some commercial fishing boats along with other smaller motor boats and sail boats further out. The whales were in the harbour, right in the path of the Gabriola Island ferry and later close to the Duke Point ferry pathway. My partner, living in Nanaimo for the last five years had never seen them there before, but had noticed larger amounts of fishing boats in the harbour earlier in the week, and had heard that there was a salmon run at this time of year.</i> ▫ Observed from Shore<a href="https://www.google.ca/maps/place/49.168012,-123.902435/@49.168012,-123.902435m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/product/1x/maps_64dp.png" title="Google Map" height="14"></a><!-- Head Observer --><div align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal;

Over the next couple years, a few more showed up, then a few more. Today, nearly 200 of the giant ocean mammals mill around a piece of ocean smaller than a U.S. football field for several months out of the year. Now, scientists think they know what’s luring what may be the largest global gathering of these cetaceans: masses of free food. Hungry humpbacks travel thousands of kilometers to feast on a rich buffet of tiny crustaceans called krill, researchers reported here this week at the biennial meeting of the Society for Marine Mammalogy.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/10/hundreds-humpback-whales-are-massing-tiny-spot-ocean-here-s-why" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-28/drones-spy-on-humpback-whales-for-research/9086084" target="_blank"><b>Drones spy on WA's booming humpback population to crack secret of weight loss</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">ABC, AU</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-28/drones-spy-on-humpback-whales-for-research/9086084" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/9083414-3x2-700x467.png" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Murdoch University's Fredrik Christiansen and Kate Sprogis deployed drones to photograph and measure the body condition of female humpbacks on two legs of the year-long migration, which begins in Antarctica over summer.<br /><br />In June, the pair spent three weeks assessing well-fed humpbacks as they moved north from the feeding grounds of Antarctica past Augusta, in WA's south west only to reunite with the emaciated females this month off Dunsborough on their return voyage.<br /><br />Female humpbacks will typically leave southern waters weighing their heaviest, on average between 30-40 tonnes, but will return substantially lighter having shed a lot of their weight feeding calves birthed in the warm northern waters off Australia's coast.<br /><br />Exactly how much the females lose and the amount of energy they expend in the process remains a slight mystery and it's that key detail Dr Christiansen is hoping to deduce.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-28/drones-spy-on-humpback-whales-for-research/9086084" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://greennews.ie/microplastics-found-10-whales-dolphins-ireland/" target="_blank"><b>Plastics found in almost 10% of whales and dolphins in Ireland</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Green News, IE</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://greennews.ie/microplastics-found-10-whales-dolphins-ireland/" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://greennews.ie/wp3/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/7576773812_198176622d_b-793x515.jpg" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Almost ten per cent of whales, dolphins, and porpoises examined as part of a new Irish study were found to have plastics in their digestive tracts.<br /><br />The study published in Environmental Pollution found that 8.5 per cent (45 individuals) of Irish cetaceans tested had marine debris in their stomachs and intestines.<br /><br />Deep-diving offshore species such as True’s and Cuvier’s beaked whales ingested more plastics than individuals from coastal or pelagic species.... <!-- Head Magazine Article Readon Link --><a href="https://greennews.ie/microplastics-found-10-whales-dolphins-ireland/" target="_blank"><b>read on</b></a><!-- Tail Magazine Article Readon Link --></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><!-- Magazine Footer -->

They don't appear to be in any hurry to depart to breeding grounds, or have we become both feeding and breeding grounds now? We heard that there were a number of them also at the entrance to Jervis Inlet, but did not have a specific date/time/location of the sighting, so it is not in this report.<br /><br />Resident Orca, both Northern and Southern were reported below Campbell River foraging together with Pacific White Sided Dolphins along the Vancouver Island shoreline. There appears to be more food for them all farther out from the mainland and also in some of the inlets where fish are still running.<br /><br />Many of you realize that we do rescues of coastal wildlife as well as marine mammals, but never expected to rescue Luna. While checking on the Orca, T101s off Powell River there was a howl from uninhabited Harwood Island. At first glance it looked like a wolf which would be very unusual. Moving a bit closer to the sandy spit, this dog started swimming straight to the boat. She was determined to be rescued! No, she was not dumped, nor did she fall off a boat in the rough water we had a few days before. A fair bit of sleuthing and thanks to all on Facebook who managed to get the word out quickly, the owners were found in 24 hours. We're happy to say that although she had swollen paws and a few scrapes, a few days rest and antibiotics is doing the trick. Luna, which is truly her name, is going home, one extremely sweet, lucky dog. My cat will be extremely happy.<br /><br />We'd like to pass on that Luna had a harness on when she got lost which likely got caught in some of the dense bush on the far side of the island. She didn't have it on when we pulled her on board. She has a tatoo, which vets and SPCA do routinely to reunite pets with their owners. The tatoo is not useful if you change phone numbers, move, or give your pet away and don't update the information. With more boaters taking their pets on board, there have been a number of dogs, most often, lost overboard this year. Make sure you contact all surrounding SPCAs, other pet finding services and Social Media immediately. Although Coast Guard is not big on keeping the info on pets lost in waterways, they will.<br /><br /><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0BzQucWBRYjQ3ZWUzM21pNXNQZk0" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0BzQucWBRYjQ3ZWUzM21pNXNQZk0" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Humpback Whale, Crescent, fluking off of Rebecca Rocks</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Michelle Pennell, Powell River, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

Our live camera feed is at<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. We still have transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images from the Beach Gardens Marina camera which would translate to static for our hydrophone (underwater listening) stream. We continue to work on a resolution. You may also have noticed that we have a second live stream that appears when the Beach Gardens camera is down. This is a lesser quality camera we have as a backup mounted in Powell River. We still managed to have a couple of whale sightings from both cameras.

however, we did not hear any specific steps or measures that will be taken in the short term. Now is the time for the federal government to show strong leadership to protect critical habitat because orcas can’t wait.”<br /><br />The southern resident killer whale population has had two deaths this year, seven in 2016, and calves have not been born since 2015. Today, there are 76 remaining, a very small population that is inherently vulnerable to the risk of extinction. This population of whales relies on B.C.’s southern coastal waters from May to October.</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://davidsuzuki.org/story/oil-spills-pose-unacceptable-threats-marine-life/" target="_blank"><b>Oil spills pose unacceptable threats to marine life</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">David Suzuki Foundation, BC</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://davidsuzuki.org/story/oil-spills-pose-unacceptable-threats-marine-life/" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://davidsuzuki.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/oil-spill-slick-tanah-merah-singapore.jpg" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Link --><div align="CENTER" style="text-align: center; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://davidsuzuki.org/story/oil-spills-pose-unacceptable-threats-marine-life/" target="_blank"><b>Read the Full Article Here</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Link --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says oil pipelines have no place in B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest. Opponents of the approved Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion to the West Coast and the cancelled Energy East pipeline to the East Coast argue pipelines and tankers don’t belong in any coastal areas. Research led by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation confirms the threat to marine mammals in B.C. waters from a seven-fold increase in tanker traffic is considerable.<br />After examining potential impacts of a 15,000-cubic-metre oil spill in B.C. waters on 21 marine mammals, researchers concluded most individuals would be at risk and a few local populations wouldn’t survive. Baleen whales, for example, are highly susceptible to ingesting oil because they breathe through blowholes, filter and eat food from the ocean surface and rely on invertebrate prey. Oil residue can stick to the baleen, restricting the amount of food they consume.<br /><br />Resident and transient killer whales, sea otters and Steller sea lions were most likely to see a drop in population levels from an oil spill. Killer whales are especially vulnerable because of their small populations, low reproductive rates, dietary specialization, long lives and complex social structure. The 76 southern resident killer whales off the B.C. coast, Canada’s most endangered marine mammal, are particularly threatened by oil spills, as well as ship strikes and underwater noise that hinders their ability to feed and communicate.<br /><br />If Trans Mountain’s Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion proceeds and an oil spill occurs, the study estimates it would affect between 22 and 80 per cent of these whales’ critical Salish Sea habitat...</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><!-- Head Magazine Group Header --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br><br><b>NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL</b><br></div><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.thetelegram.com/news/trial-continues-in-st-johns-for-tour-boat-skipper-charged-with-harassing-whale-156221/" target="_blank"><b>Trial continues in St. John’s for tour boat skipper charged with harassing whale</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">The Telegram, NL</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>The trial of a tour boat skipper accused of disturbing a whale near Cape Spear two years ago will continue in provincial court in St. John’s today.<br />Walter Reddick, 64, has been charged under the Fisheries Act with unlawfully disturbing a marine mammal in connection with an incident alleged to have happened Aug. 5, 2014.

But almost 100 years later, many of those populations—humpbacks, blue whales, southern right whales, and others—are still hurting. And even after 100 years of protection, many of these whale populations will still be less than half the size they were before the whaling era.<br /><br />That’s the finding of a new study on southern hemisphere baleen whales. Researchers estimated how the populations of five whale species will change by the year 2100 by calculating various data, including: numbers from the historical whale catch; past and present population estimates; and estimated future abundances of phytoplankton and krill, the whales’ primary food sources....</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.iheartradio.ca/610cktb/news/bill-to-end-captivity-of-whales-and-dolphins-in-canada-to-go-back-for-third-reading-1.3387923" target="_blank"><b>BILL TO END CAPTIVITY OF WHALES AND DOLPHINS IN CANADA TO GO BACK FOR THIRD READING</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Newstalk 160, BC</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="http://www.iheartradio.ca/610cktb/news/bill-to-end-captivity-of-whales-and-dolphins-in-canada-to-go-back-for-third-reading-1.3387923" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.iheartradio.ca/image/policy:1.2610926:1494841054/CKTB-News-Whale-ban.jpg?f=default&$p$f=9e0ddae&w=663&$w=4b85173" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Link --><div align="CENTER" style="text-align: center; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.iheartradio.ca/610cktb/news/bill-to-end-captivity-of-whales-and-dolphins-in-canada-to-go-back-for-third-reading-1.3387923" target="_blank"><b>Read the Full Article Here</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Link --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>The Green Party of Canada is applauding the Senate's Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans after senators voted this morning to send Bill S-203 back to the upper chamber for third reading. <br /><br />The bill calls for an end to the captivity of whales and dolphins in Canada. <br /><br />Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has committed to sponsoring the bill when it reaches the House of Commons...</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/inkfish/2017/10/20/beluga-living-with-dolphins-swaps-her-calls-for-theirs/#.Wff7f2hSyHs" target="_blank"><b>Beluga Living with Dolphins Swaps Her Calls for Theirs</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Discover</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/inkfish/2017/10/20/beluga-living-with-dolphins-swaps-her-calls-for-theirs/#.Wff7f2hSyHs" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/inkfish/files/2017/10/shutterstock_736129444-768x512.jpg" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Link --><div align="CENTER" style="text-align: center; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/inkfish/2017/10/20/beluga-living-with-dolphins-swaps-her-calls-for-theirs/#.Wff7f2hSyHs" target="_blank"><b>Read the Full Article Here</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Link --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>In November 2013, a four-year-old captive beluga whale moved to a new home. She had been living in a facility with other belugas. But in her new pool, the Koktebel dolphinarium in Crimea, her only companions were dolphins. The whale adapted quickly: she started imitating the unique whistles of the dolphins, and stopped making a signature beluga call altogether.<br /><br />“The first appearance of the beluga in the dolphinarium caused a fright in the dolphins,” write Elena Panova and Alexandr Agafonov of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. The bottlenose dolphins included one adult male, two adult females and a young female. But the animals soon got along, er, swimmingly. In August 2016, one of the adult female dolphins gave birth to a calf that regularly swam alongside the beluga.<br /><br />The researchers were curious about what the new pool-mates were saying to each other....</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-dolphin-food-chain-20171018-story.html" target="_blank"><b>What dolphin diets reveal about climate change's effects off the California coast</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Lost Angelese Times, CA</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-dolphin-food-chain-20171018-story.html" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.trbimg.com/img-59e55b5b/turbine/la-1508203351-mrxc9uqofj-snap-image/750/750x422" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Link --><div align="CENTER" style="text-align: center; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-dolphin-food-chain-20171018-story.html" target="_blank"><b>Read the Full Article Here</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Link --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Scientists studying dolphins dining off the California coastline have found that the marine food web is starting to look a little threadbare. The length of food chains in that web appears to have gotten shorter in response to environmental changes — such as those caused by El Niño events.<br /><br />The findings, published this week in the journal Science Advances, highlight a useful method for examining the ways climate change is affecting the structure of the world’s ecosystems.<br /><br />As human-caused climate change continues its rapid pace, and as the oceans warm and acidify, it’s altering which marine species can survive. That means that key species in a food web may start to decline – which can have serious effects on this complex and delicate network.</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><!-- Magazine Footer -->

Is this because they don't plan to breed this year, or is it because they haven't had enough food to build their reserves? The breeding grounds do not have much in the way of food for them, so when they are at their breeding grounds in Hawaii or Mexico, they live off their body reserves. Every year, over the past 18 or so years, we have seen a few stay all winter. These numbers of Humpbacks has been increasing over the past 5 years and raises more questions than we have answers for.<br /><br />Some of the Resident, fish eating Orca, who are not actually "resident" but travel farther afield, were seen in Discovery Passage. Since we did not have confirmation if these were again, Southern Residents from J and L pods foraging, or Northern Resident Killer Whales searching for food, we have had to list them in the Unidentified segment of this report. There were also a few Transient Biggs Orca on the hunt for seals, sealions, or the smaller Cetaceans such as the Pacific White Sided Dolphins that round out this report.<br /><br />Please remember to report your sightings so that we can monitor and map the Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoise. Our work continues year round, and many of our sightings come from shore based observers like you.<br /><br /><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0BzQucWBRYjQ3OXZ5Zm5aVU1PMk0" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0BzQucWBRYjQ3OXZ5Zm5aVU1PMk0" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Humpback Whale, BCY0291 KC, fluking off of the Cape Mudge Lighthouse</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Kurt Staples, <a href="http://www.eagleeyeadventures.com" target="_blank">Eagle Eye Adventures</a><BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

Our live camera feed is at<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. We still have transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images from the Beach Gardens Marina camera which would translate to static for our hydrophone (underwater listening) stream. We continue to work on a resolution. You may also have noticed that we have a second live stream that appears when the Beach Gardens camera is down. This is a lesser quality camera we have as a backup mounted in Powell River. We still managed to have a couple of whale sightings from both cameras.

As a result, Canada’s Salish Sea is now a patchwork of degraded environments where harmful effects on marine mammals include damaging levels of noise, lack of food, toxic pollutants, fatal collisions with ships and disruptive vessel traffic. Predictably, the Salish Sea’s Southern Resident killer whale population is one of the most critically endangered populations of marine mammals in Canada and the U.S.<br /><br />Both countries list this transboundary population as endangered, citing three primary risk factors: lack of the whales’ preferred prey, Chinook salmon; chronic and acute underwater noise and physical disturbance (e.g., from ferries, commercial ships, whale-watching boats, fishing boats, and recreational traffic); and high levels of contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls. Consequently, under existing conditions of food availability, pollutants and vessel traffic the Southern Residents face a highly uncertain future. Routine starvation of whales is one grim manifestation of these cumulative human caused disturbances.</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/more-research-needed-before-imposing-shipping-restrictions-to-save-b-c-s-killer-whales-garneau" target="_blank"><b>Action needed now to restrict vessels in critical killer whale habitat, scientists warn</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Vancouver Sun,BC</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Government action is needed now, on an emergency basis, to restrict vessels within the critical habitat of endangered southern resident killer whales, marine scientists warned Thursday in Vancouver.<br /><br />“There are some short-term things that can be done — they’re practical, well-supported and cautionary,” Vancouver Aquarium whale researcher Lance Barrett-Lennard told a federally sponsored symposium on the killer whales. “We’d better stop talking about them and start doing them.”<br /><br />John Ford, an emeritus federal scientist who now teaches at the University of B.C., agreed that sport fishing and whale-watching boats can physically interfere with the whales’ ability to hunt, including their key summer prey, chinook salmon.<br /><br />“They need space,” he said. “If there is a flotilla of boats around them, no matter what (the boats are) doing … they represent physical obstacles in these key spots.”<br /><br />In Washington state, there is a strict law that prohibits boats from approaching killer whales within 200 yards, yet on the B.C. side of the Salish Sea, there is only a guideline of 100 metres and a hard-to-prove prohibition against harassing or disturbing the whales....</div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Body --><br><br><!-- Head Magazine Article Title --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://bc.ctvnews.ca/humpback-whales-making-a-comeback-in-b-c-waters-1.3630517" target="_blank"><b>Humpback whales making a comeback in B.C. waters</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Title --><!-- Head Magazine Article Attribute --><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">CTV News BC</span><br></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Attribute --><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="http://bc.ctvnews.ca/humpback-whales-making-a-comeback-in-b-c-waters-1.3630517" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://www.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_fs/1.3630533.1507861298!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_960/image.jpg" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Magazine Article Link --><div align="CENTER" style="text-align: center; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://bc.ctvnews.ca/humpback-whales-making-a-comeback-in-b-c-waters-1.3630517" target="_blank"><b>Read the Full Article Here</b></a></div><!-- Tail Magazine Article Link --><!-- Head Magazine Article Body --><div style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>Giant humpback whales, a once-threatened species, are making a comeback off B.C.’s South Coast, according to local whale-watchers and researchers.<br />“They have just come back like gangbusters.

Sean Baxter, a fisherman who lives in the village of Staithes, has been encouraging me to search them out for years. “The summer herring shoals are back,” he told me recently. “We’ve got all sorts of marine life living off them: minke whales, porpoises, dolphins, basking sharks – even humpbacks and sunfish some years.”<br /><br />This was another reason why I failed to mention the Yorkshire leviathans: I had never clapped eyes on them myself. Surely Yorkshire whale-watching could not be a patch on places with exotic names like Kaikoura, Anacortes and Isle St Marie? How could Yorkshire ever compete? Baxter was adamant that it could.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Southern Resident Orca, J-Pod and a few from L-Pod, stayed in the upper Georgia Strait to forage, then continued south past Comox. Transient Bigg's Orca popped up in many of the channels, but aren't favouring any specific area, as of yet.<br /><br />Humpback Whales are staying in the upper Georgia Strait to forage although they seem to be spreading out a bit, so a good count is difficult. In the mix, we know that we have some of our regulars we have had routinely over the past three or more years including KC, Apollo, Zed, Stripe, Niagara, Nick, Yogi, Chinook and Geometry just to name a few.<br /><br />As the Summer boating season winds down, reports are needed even more from shore based observers. We have managed to catch-up a few sightings reports that slipped through the cracks during the height of this past extremely hectic Summer season. Our volunteers did an amazing job of staying on top of what they had coming in. I hope you are all giving them a round of applause, with special kudos and thanks to our Senior Editor, Ivan Ng for some major juggling life commitments and his proficient WOWs volunteering accomplishments as well as the extra load. We are pleased to announce that our Fall training is underway to enable better sharing of the load. We will have more info available in our next Sightings Report Society Update.<br /><br /><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /></span><br />

Please bear with us as we work on the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images. Even with the bouncy images, we still managed to have a couple of whale sightings. The hydrophone (underwater listening) installation will follow.
<br /><br /> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! <br /><br />
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us?

The Orca Network has requested the public to keep an eye out for a humpback whale that was first seen entangled in the Haro Strait area near Henry Island Friday. A coalition of organizations that make up the Large Whale Entanglement Response Network have responded to more than 100 entangled whales.<br />
<br />
"The techniques for disentanglement rely on attaching ropes to the gear that entangles the whale, to allow responders to get close enough to make cuts using long poles with hooked knives," a statement from the Orca Network said. "The gillnet on this whale is fragile and no equipment is capable of attaching to it.<br />
<br />
"The good news is, it is expected that the gillnet on the whale will be shed on its own over time. However, complete documentation of this whale will help researchers understand the impacts of entanglements on this individual and of the humpback populations in general."<br />
<br />
Haro Strait is in the northern Puget Sound region near the Canadian border.</div>

Opponents of the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion are in the Federal Court of Appeal arguing that risks to endangered orcas were ignored when the project was approved.<br />
<br />
The pipeline expansion, which will pump oil from Alberta to B.C. and offer access to global markets, is expected to potentially increase coastal tanker traffic seven-fold, according to Vancouver's mayor.<br />
<br />
Conservation groups say that could push southern resident orcas — the estimated 76 remaining — to the brink of extinction.<br />
<br />
Opponents have formed a consortium to fight the project, arguing First Nations and environmental concerns were ignored.<br />
<br />
They're also raising safety fears because the pipeline would run through populated areas and are questioning whether market demands will even support the controversial venture.<br />
<br />
"It's insane to be building this pipeline," said Karen Wristen of Living Oceans, who addressed the federal court Wednesday with concerns about the whales.<br />
<br />
"There is just no way you can approve a project that is going to create a seven-fold increase in tanker traffic without damaging the whales. It's contrary to the Species at Risk Act." <br />
<br />
A two-week hearing, which began Monday, now involves municipalities, environmental groups and six First Nations, all opposing the approval of the pipeline expansion.<br />
<br />
The hearings consolidate several lawsuits originally filed by seven First Nations, Burnaby, Vancouver, the Raincoast Conservation Foundation and Living Oceans Society.</div>

Environmentalists invited to Vancouver's orca symposium left frustrated after hearing few solutions from the federal government to restore B.C.'s dwindling killer whale population.<br />
<br />
Six orcas along the B.C. South Coast have died over the last two years, reducing the total population to 77. Last month, a young killer whale was spotted malnourished along the south coast. Researchers believe it has also died.<br />
<br />
"We haven't heard anything from the government yet about what they're going to do this week, next month, in the next six months, to protect the orcas — and that's what we're waiting to hear," said Christianne Wilhelmson executive director of the Georgia Strait Alliance.<br />
<br />
More than 200 stakeholders were in attendance at the event, which runs until Thursday....</div>

Two pods of killer whales — about 10 in total — made a rare showing off the Orange County coastline on Friday, Oct. 6, a treat for marine mammal enthusiasts who either jumped at the chance to see the orcas up close, or just happened to be on a whale watching boat on this particular sunny afternoon.<br />
<br />
The buzz about the CA51 and CA216 pods started earlier this week when the orcas were spotted Tuesday by Oceanside Whale Watching and then Thursday by San Diego Whale Watching, the furthest south they have ever been documented, according to Alisa Schulman-Janiger, a whale researcher with the California Killer Whale Project.</div>

After two months studying the carcasses of seven right whales found dead off Canada’s Atlantic coast this past summer, scientists have revealed what killed six of the endangered animals.<br />
<br />
On October 5, Pierre-Yves Daoust, a pathologist at Prince Edward Island’s Atlantic Veterinary College, and Émilie L. Couture, a veterinarian at Zoo de Granby and Université de Montréal, released the results of their investigation into the unprecedented mortality event of this beleaguered species.<br />

MOUNT DESERT ROCK, Maine —<br />
From the top of the six-story lighthouse, water stretches beyond the horizon in every direction. A foghorn bleats twice at 22-second intervals, interrupting the endless chatter of herring gulls.<br />
<br />
At least twice a day, beginning shortly after dawn, researchers climb steps and ladders and crawl through a modest glass doorway to scan the surrounding sea, looking for the distinctive spout of a whale.<br />
<br />
This chunk of rock, about 25 nautical miles from Bar Harbor, Maine, is part of a global effort to track and learn more about one of the sea’s most majestic and endangered creatures. So far this year, the small number of sightings here have underscored the growing perils along the East Coast to both humpback whales and North Atlantic right whales.<br />
<br />
This past summer, the numbers of humpback whales identified from the rock were abysmal — the team saw only eight instead of the usual dozens. Fifty-three humpbacks have died in the past 19 months, many after colliding with boats or fishing gear.<br />
<br />
Scientists worry that the humpbacks might have been forced elsewhere in a search for food as the seas grow rapidly warmer and their feeding grounds are disturbed.<br />
<br />
“Food is becoming more patchy and less reliable, so ....</div>

<br />
Orcas have made a name for themselves as master food flingers, but a recent video from Florida shows that their much smaller cousins also have a knack for flipping prey to new heights. ...Why do dolphins sometimes throw their food around? ...<br />
It's possible that fish-throwing is simply a "fun" activity for these intelligent cetaceans. Others speculate that younger individuals engage in such solo games of catch in order to practice their hunting skills. Both of these explanations are also floated when killer whales – the largest of the oceanic dolphins – display the behaviour....</div>

It's unusual for the Southern Resident Killer Whales to stay in the northern reaches of Georgia Strait, but they must have found some good fish to eat. Food is something they definitely have been in need of with their populations dwindling. J-Pod was the main family group with a few from possibly L-Pod with them going up into Sutil Channel even to forage, feed and socialize. Their vocals, or chatting type calls to one another, kept some of the Transient Bigg's, the meat eaters, slinking around channels or other sides of islands. None of the whales wanted confrontation.<br /><br />With all the Orca activity, the Humpback Whales too were moving out of the way, although there was a report of one seen briefly close to the Southern Residents. Humpbacks communicate in very low frequencies while Orca and others of the Dolphin family are high frequency chatterers, so the noise must be deafening to them. The Humpbacks have been slowly working their way south, stopping to feed and rest. We seriously appreciate the number of calls from worried observers reporting possible injury or entanglement of Humpbacks, and are happy to report that, at least during this report period, they were all just having a good snooze on the surface.<br /><br />Pacific White Sided Dolphins almost got themselves tangled up with some of the Transient Bigg's Orca, probably not realizing till the last moment that they were approaching meat eaters rather than the fish eaters. Although the Dolphins are fast, the Orca, also a type of Dolphin, can be just as fast to catch them. These Bigg's also feed on Harbour and Dall's Porpoise which is why we ask for sightings of these smaller Cetaceans.<br /><br />Of note, of our other marine mammals that are under our Species of Interest category are Sea Otters who are moving back into our inside waters. This is exciting! We had only logged lone animals over the past few years, but it appears that we may have a family of them by Mitlenatch Island with the sighting of a juvenile and two or possibly three adults.<br /><br /><i>Susan MacKay, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /><br><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><center><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0BzQucWBRYjQ3bmg4U3dHVzVUZGM" imageanchor="1" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0BzQucWBRYjQ3bmg4U3dHVzVUZGM" width="560" /></a></center></span></span></div><!-- Head Media Series Title --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>A Pod of Killer Whales heading towards Northeast Point</b></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Series Title --><!-- Head Media Observer --><div align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Michelle Pennell, Powell River, BC<BR></i></span></span></div><!-- Tail Media Observer --><br><br><br></span></div><!-- Tail Preamble --><!-- Society News & Events -->

The last such dead specimen was observed at Khuddi Creek along the coast of Sindh on 11 August 2014.<br /><br />Although 47 sightings of baleen whales have been reported from the coast of Pakistan in 2016 none of them could be attributed to blue whale.

There were Transient Bigg's Orca popping up in a variety of places at the same time. These species do not mix, and will, if they're in the same channel, hug opposite shores to avoid confrontation. Reports of Orca without knowing who is who can be confusing. We have some of these in our Unidentified Killer Whale category.<br /><br />Humpback Whale reports indicate that many have started heading south. It's especially gratifying to know that 'KC' who had been entangled is doing okay. Using our online maps and tracking, he was found soon after his entanglement and confirmed to be free of lines. But right after that, he disappeared again, which had many of us worried that perhaps he was injured. Another one of the disentangled Humpbacks we were involved with was also spotted off Powell River, close to where he was entangled. We continue to work towards educating the public enough to help us avoid these entanglements to begin with.<br /><br />Pacific White Sided Dolphins were seen harassing the Northern Resident Orca, but scattered when the meat eating Transient Bigg's Orca came near. A few Harbour Porpoise were seen, but not in the numbers we had early in the Summer.

Please bear with us as we work on the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images. Even with the bouncy images, we still managed to have a couple of whale sightings. The hydrophone (underwater listening) installation will follow.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A number of pods of Transient Orca have been sighted in our inland waters during the past week, and among them, the T101s, T137s, and T002Cs were identified. Many Humpbacks whales have been observed with a majority of them located in Sutil Channel between Cortes Island and Read Island. It appears that many of the Transient Orca travelled in waterways that did not have any Humpback whales. However, one sighting came in last Friday afternoon indicating some interaction between a small group Pacific White-Sided dolphins, Transient Orca, and one Humpback whale that were all in the same area off of the Cape Mudge Village located on Quadra Island. A number of pods of Pacific White-Sided dolphins were observed with some making there way into upper Georgia Strait, but these were relatively small pods compared to the size of pods observed earlier in the summer with some numbering 100 or more per pod. Rounding out our report is a sighting of Northern Resident Orca and two Sea Otters.<br /><br />On a side note, it was reported earlier in the week that another member of the Southern Resident Orca has most likely died due to malnutrition. The male Orca identified as J52 was less than three years old and its death has raised even more concerns for the health and survival of the Southern Resident Orca population numbered now at 76. It is hoped that more solutions can be found to help protect this small group of Orca that is integral to our marine ecosystems here in B.C.<br /><br /><i>Ivan Ng, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /></span><br />

A group of residents in Haida Gwaii helped a beached newborn whale return safely to the water.<br />
<br />
A caretaker at Samson Lodge located in Naden Harbour spotted the young minke whale on the beach around 10:30 a.m. on Thursday.<br />
<br />
The caretaker went to Queen Charlotte Lodge to find others who could help.<br />
<br />
They waited for high tide to come in at around 2:30 p.m., eased the whale into the water and watched it swim off.<br />
<br />
According to a staffer at Queen Charlotte Lodge, the whale was so young its umbilical cord was still attached.<br />
<br />
Fisheries and Oceans Canada was called but didn’t arrive until after the whale was back in the water.</div>

<br />
As of Sept. 19, another Southern resident killer whale, J-52, — a 2 and a half-year-old male born during the so-called “baby boom” of 2015-16 — is deceased, presumably from malnutrition.<br />
<br />
His nursing ended more than a year ago, and his life was dependent upon salmon that have become in short supply this summer.<br />
<br />
He was last seen alive near the west entrance of the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Sept. 15, and photographs taken at the time reveal severe “peanut-head” syndrome associated with impending death.<br />
<br />
Young J-52 was accompanied by his mother (17 and a half-year-old, J-36) and an adult male (26-year-old L-85, potentially his father) at least five miles away from the other members of J and L pods that were foraging within a mile or two of the coastline from Camper Creek to Bonilla Point, west of Port Renfrew, British Columbia.<br />
<br />
The observation of this event was at sunset, and the young whale appeared very lethargic while barely surfacing as the two adults were swimming around in circles and not feeding while attentive to the young whale. The center’s staff estimated J-52 was within hours, if not minutes, of death at the time, and he was not present during the J pod foray into Puget Sound on Sept. 19, though his mother and L-85 were. The mother did not appear overly emaciated on either occasion, but she is lean and seems distressed. These animals exhibit emotion and death of an offspring brings it on.<br />
<br />
All of the Southern resident killer whales, observed this summer, appeared skinny and small compared to the transient killer whales in the Salish Sea that have abundant prey resources (seals and other marine mammals). Timing of food availability is everything, especially in critical phases of growth or gestation.<br />
<br />
With the passing of J-52, three of the six whales born in J pod during the baby boom, which began in December 2014 with the birth of J-50, have now died; and, two mothers (J-14, J-28) and a great-grandmother (J-2) in the pod have also died....</div>

The southern resident killer whales of the northeast Pacific are in trouble. Despite having special protections from both the Canadian and American governments, there are only 78 of these salmon-eating whales left. And as recent research shows, the southern resident population is set to slowly atrophy and ultimately disappear. On top of habitat degradation, climate change, and other challenges, the whales have another problem: they’re not having enough babies.<br />
<br />
In a recently published paper, University of Washington biologist Samuel Wasser and his colleagues report that from 2008 to 2014, nearly 70 percent of southern resident killer whale pregnancies failed, either in miscarriage or with the calves dying immediately postpartum.<br />
<br />
Normally, killer whales give birth roughly every five years. With 30 reproductive females in the group, that should mean six births a year on average. But in the six years studied, there were only two or three a year, or none at all.<br />
<br />
In general, it’s difficult to say how common miscarriages are. For humans, many ...</div>

Cetacean bycatch has been a major conservation and animal welfare concern in the EU for decades, but moves are afoot to potentially water down protections for such sensitive marine species. Sarah Dolman, Sarah Baulch and Jo Swabe argue that better monitoring and mitigation measures in new legislation could help to eliminate this problem.</div>

Animals in the world’s oceans have faced an ever-increasing cacophony in recent decades. They’re inundated with sonar intended to keep countries safe, air gun charges that help energy companies find new sources of oil and gas, and the sounds of the 60,000 commercial ships that ply the seas at any given time.<br />
<br />
A new film called “Sonic Sea” by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Imaginary Forces catalogs the growing risks that noise poses to whales, dolphins, and porpoises and what scientists and conservationists are doing about it. It’s up for the Best Science in Nature prize at the 2017 Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival beginning Sept. 24 in Jackson, Wyoming. ....</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There has been an increase in the number of sightings of Transient Orca in our inland waters. One report indicated that a pod of Transient Orca were feeding, indicating that they had hunted, caught, and killed its prey whatever it may have been. Possible prey for Transients Orca include porpoise, dolphins, smaller baleen whales, seals, and sea lions. A relatively large pod of Pilot whales were reported in Juan de Fuca Strait and they were displaying a variety of behaviours including spy-hopping and tail-slapping. Like Orca, Pilot whales are part of the dolphin family and are the second largest dolphin in the world reaching lengths of 7 meters. They can be recognized by their black bodies, round bulbous heads, and low rounded dorsal fins that have a broad base. Pilot whales are not very common in BC waters but they do appear occasionally like this past week. Our report includes a number of sightings of Humpback whales and a few sightings of the Pacific White-Sided dolphins as well as the Dall's porpoise and Harbour Porpoise. Enjoy them while they are still here and as the weather is relatively pleasant. <br /><br /><i>Ivan Ng, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The large refers to the high number of Humpback whales that are remaining in Sutil Channel between Read Island, Cortes Island, and Quadra Island. Many Humpbacks have been identified, with the whale "Niagara" (BCY0057) being observed most often. Of course, the Humpbacks themselves are large in size being as long as a bus. Pods of Pacific White-Sided dolphins were observed in their usual areas in Nodales Channel and Johnstone Strait. A few of these pods were large in size, with some of them estimated to be about 200 animals. It must be exciting to see all those dolphins out in the water! We have received a few sighting reports of the Northern Resident Orca in Blackfish Sound and Transient Orca near Powell River and Campbell River. Adult male Orca can be large growing up to 7-meters in length and are a sight to see, with their 2-meter dorsal fin coming out of the water as the whale surfaces.<br /><br />Only a couple of sighting reports of Harbour porpoise and of Dall's porpoise came in this week. These species are the smallest members of the Cetacean family. Because of their size, they can be difficult to spot especially if they are in small pods. Sea Otters were also observed a few times this week, with one being close to Marina Reef regularly. Sea Otters can grow to be about 1-meter long with a mass of about 45-kg (100 pounds). Although relatively small compared to whales and dolphins, Sea Otters do spend a lot of time at the surface and can be seen easily. They were hunted for their fur in the 1800's and they were close to extinction at one time. After they were protected (and still is protected under Laws today), the population of Sea Otters have increased slowly over the past century and the population appears to have returned to a healthy size.<br /><br /><i>Ivan Ng, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /></span><br />

<b>Real Time Monitoring Station Update: We're LIVE!</b> <br />
Connect to our first installation mounted at Beach Gardens Marina click on our<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. Please bear with us as we work on the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images. Even with the bouncy images, we still managed to have a couple of whale sightings. The hydrophone (underwater listening) installation will follow.
<br /><br /> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! <br /><br />
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us?

Southern resident orcas are one of the most highly studied whale populations in the world. Every individual has a name and is photographed for an annual census that has been conducted for over 40 years by the Centre for Whale Research. We know their family trees, when they were born, who they favour spending time with, and even their individual personality traits. What we don’t know is where they are.<br />

Research on the southern residents began in 1976 when...</div>

Forest-dwelling fishers and five whales species maintained endangered species status at a meeting in Port Angeles last week.<br />
<br />
The state Fish and Wildlife Commission voted 6-0 Friday to retain state-specific protections for the blue whale, fin whale, sei whale, North Pacific right whale, sperm whale and fishers during a five-year review at the Port Angeles Red Lion Hotel....<br />
Factors affecting whale populations include an overharvest during the whaling era, ship strikes, entanglements with fishing gear, disturbances from sound, effects of climate change on the food supply and oil spills and other contaminants, Anderson said.<br />
<br />
State officials received 11 written comments on the re-listing of the five whale species, eight of which were supportive of the action.<br />
<br />
Two called for an end to all commercial fishing, and one opposed the re-listing of the blue whale on the basis that its population had recovered.</div>

Mark Malleson, lead skipper with the Prince of Whales Whale Watching Tours, says he has seen a record number of transient killer whales this season.<br />
<br />
"It has been amazing," explained Malleson. "Best year that I've seen so far."<br />
<br />
There is another species of orcas, called Southern Resident killer whales, whose recent migration patterns has Malleson and others concerned.<br />
<br />
"We've seen a lot of animals that have shown up quite lean and skinny" Malleson said.<br />
<br />
The resident killer whales are most active off the waters of Vancouver Island and Washington State.<br />
<br />
Since April of this year, the three orca pods have been sighted only 27 times according to the Center for Whale Research.<br />
<br />
This summer turned out to have the lowest number of sightings since studies on the population began in 1976.<br />
<br />
"This population is on the razor edge of extinction," explained Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance. "There's no other way to put it."<br />
<br />
Last year marked the deadliest year for the species in more than two decades.<br />
<br />
Six resident whales died, including one of the oldest whales in the world who was affectionately known as "Granny."...</div>

The California fishermen are part of a new effort using their cellphones’ GPS and new software pinpointing areas where lost or abandoned crabbing gear has been spotted. They retrieve the gear for a payment — at Half Moon Bay, it’s $65 per pot –before the fishing ropes can snag a whale.</div>

Scientists are at a loss to explain one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale — why the animals are disappearing from their usual breeding grounds off the southeastern United States. <br />
<br />
Usually, right whales spend the winter in their breeding grounds off Florida and Georgia. <br />
<br />
Before 2011, more than 200 right whales were spotted in the area each year. In 2017, there were just seven. <br />
<br />
"How tough can it be to find 200 whales? Apparently pretty tough," said Jim Hain, senior scientist at Associated Scientists at Woods Hole, located near Falmouth, Mass.<br />
<br />
It's just one of the many puzzles these leviathans present to researcher...</div>

The last thing Joe Howlett ever did, standing on a Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada fast-boat bobbing in waters 20 kms off Shippagan, N.B., was give a smiling thumbs up to the five DFO officers with him just as he saved a whale’s life.<br />
It was July 10. Howlett, a jovial 59-year-old had just used a long pole with a curved-back blade on the end to cut off the last line of tangled fishing gear likely to drag a massive and tiring North Atlantic right whale to its death.<br />
Only an estimated 525 right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) are known to exist and the species, which can grow up to 18 metres in length and weigh 70,000 kilograms, is listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act. To date, in what’s been called an extreme mortality event off North America’s Atlantic coast, the corpses of 13 right whales have been found this year; they’ve been killed by entanglements, ship strikes and other undetermined causes. Every additional dead right whale is a significant blow to the species’ future survival.</div>

For us humans, the aurora borealis is a phenomenon of wonder: undulating swaths of green and red above the northern horizon, produced by charged particles and radiation from solar flares hitting our upper atmosphere, drawn magnetically to our northern and southern poles (for the aurora australis). After recent reports of three massive solar flares heading toward earth, many of us in the Northern Hemisphere hit the road late at night, hoping to be fortunate enough to experience the phantasm-like rippling ribbons of light. For other animals, though, the northern lights may mean something entirely different: What produces them may be what’s causing whales to fatally beach themselves on ocean shores....</div>

A Hawaii tour operator has been fined for repeatedly dropping swimmers in front of dolphins and encircling the animals with his tour boat, officials said.<br />
<br />
It's the first such fine against an operator of spinner dolphin tours, Ann Garrett, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration official in Hawaii, said this week.<br />
<br />
A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrative law judge found Casey Phillips Cho's actions on Oct. 23, 2014, amounted to harassment of dolphins. She fined Cho and his Big Island company $2,500 in line with NOAA penalty guidelines.<br />
<br />
Cho's attorney, Brian DeLima, said his client disagreed with the findings. But he said Cho paid the fine rather than appeal as a business decision....</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Transient Orca were observed on a number of days. The Transient group T002C pod were roaming around quite a bit as they were in Discovery Passage last Wednesday, then in the Desolation Sound & Okeover Inlet area on Friday, and finally in Bute Inlet on Sunday. Thats all lot of mileage in a few days! Another Transient group identified as the T060 pod passed through Discovery Passage and made its way westward in Johnstone Strait.<br /><br />A couple of Minke whales were reported near the Port McNeill area as well as Humpback whales and the two porpoise species. Humpback whales continue to remain around the south end of Quadra Island, and up into Sutil Channel as well as Calm Channel. Pacific White-sided dolphins were observed in their usual locations in Nodales Channel and Johnstone Strait. We have received a number of sightings of Harbour porpoises in various locations in the inland waters. Keep sending in your sightings!<br /><br /><i>Ivan Ng, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /></span><br />

<b>Real Time Monitoring Station Update: We're LIVE!</b> <br />
Connect to our first installation mounted at Beach Gardens Marina click on our<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. Please bear with us as we work on the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images. Even with the bouncy images, we still managed to have a couple of whale sightings. The hydrophone (underwater listening) installation will follow.
<br /><br /> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! <br /><br />
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us?

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Transient Orca have been observed as far south as Salt Spring Island and as far north as Havannah Channel. On at least two different occasions, the Orca were seen hunting and capturing prey - one pod ate a dolphin and another pod ate a seal. A pod of Northern Resident Orca made a rare foray travelling into the eastern half of Johnstone Strait.<br /><br />Many Humpback whales continue to remain in the area and can be viewed, even by keen observers from land. On a number of occasions, Humpbacks were seen bubble-net feeding where one whale underwater blows water out of its blowhole while swimming in a circle below its prey (e.g. fish). The air rises forming a "bubble" net around the prey, and the Humpbacks rise to the surface within the bubbles with their mouths open to eat the prey trapped within the net. An observer would see a circle of bubbles at the surface of the ocean followed by a number of Humpbacks coming up within the circle almost vertically closing their mouths in the process. It is really an amazing cooperative behaviour to see. Rounding out our report includes a few sightings of Pacific White-sided dolphins and porpoises.<br /><br /><i>Ivan Ng, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /></span><br />

Please bear with us as we work on the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images. Even with the bouncy images, we still managed to have a couple of whale sightings. The hydrophone (underwater listening) installation will follow.
<br /><br /> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! <br /><br />
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us?

Ships moving through a busy channel off Washington state’s San Juan Island are slowing down this summer as part of a study to determine whether that can reduce noise and benefit a small, endangered population of killer whales.<br />
<br />
The Puget Sound orcas spend summer months in a major shipping channel in the Salish Sea that is critical habitat for the whales.<br />
<br />
The trial, led by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, is trying to understand whether reducing commercial vessel speeds can reduce underwater noise. Orcas use clicks, calls and other sounds to navigate, communicate and forage mainly for salmon.<br />
<br />
Noise and other impacts from vessels is one of three major threats facing the whales. Lack of prey and pollution are the others. They currently number 78.<br />
<br />
The two-month trial asks cruise ships, ferries, bulk containers and other commercial vessels to voluntarily slow to 11 knots through Haro Strait. Average vessel speeds typically range from 13 knots for bulk carriers to 18 knots for container ships. The project began in early August and ends Oct. 6.<br />
<br />
Nearly five dozen industry participants, including Washington State Ferries and Holland America Line, have formally agreed to slow down when it’s feasible and safe, port officials said. Recreational and whale-watching boats are encouraged to slow down as well.<br />
<br />
In the first week, about 59 percent of commercial vessels reduced their speed. Participation increased to about 68 percent in the second week. It dropped to about 55 percent in the third week with stronger tidal currents contributing to concerns about costs and not meeting schedules. On average, 95 commercial vessels transit Haro Strait each week.<br />
<br />
“We’re certainly very encouraged for that level of participation,” said Orla Robinson, program manager for the Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Conservation program led by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority....</div>

The latest right whale discovered entangled off Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula is a male, known by the number 3245.<br />
<br />
Staff with the New England Aquarium say they last saw him in April, when he was still swimming free swim in Cape Cod Bay. But on Monday, the 15-year-old whale was discovered entangled by a Fisheries and Oceans Canada plane surveying an area of the Gulf of St. Lawrence off Percé.<br />
<br />
The plane has since returned to relocate him and is "assessing the situation and monitoring extremely closely," Vance Chow, a Fisheries department spokesperson, said in an email to CBC News Tuesday.<br />
<br />
"The entanglement of a right whale is an extremely difficult and distressing situation."<br />
<br />
Chow said the government is also upholding its pause on disentanglements, which went into effect in July after the death of New Brunswick whale rescuer Joe Howlett.<br />

<br />
For the past six months, a battle has raged over a proposal to allow oil and gas companies to perform seismic testing to search for deposits of petroleum off the nation's Atlantic coast.<br />
<br />
What many may not realize is that the controversial testing technique involving underwater blasts from airguns has been used for decades in the Gulf of Mexico. It's still going on, too. The government issued 22 permits for seismic tests in the gulf last year. So far this year it has issued 11.<br />
<br />
This month, a federal agency finally produced an environmental impact statement on the practice: It says the blasts of sound used to detect the presence of oil and gas have likely been harming whales and dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico all this time — causing loss of hearing, disrupting mating and feeding habits and forcing the mammals to abandon their natural habitats.<br />
<br />
Seismic testing can even be fatal.<br />
<br />
The study comes as no surprise to the environmental groups opposing it.<br />
<br />
"These dynamite-like blasts are likely to have significant, long-lasting and widespread impacts on the behavior and survival of fish, sea turtles, dolphins and other marine mammal populations in the region," said Erin Handy of the environmental group Oceana.</div>

Baleen is the apparatus toothless whales rely on to filter food from the sea. Hundreds of these flexible plates, made of the structural protein keratin, grow downward from a whale’s upper jaw, lined up like the slats of venetian blinds. Fitting the plates into the mouth requires a large upper jaw, giving baleen whales a sort of upside-down grin.<br />
<br />
The feeding structure evolved stepwise some 30 million years ago when the oceans were full of toothed whales competing for limited food. Having developed a tool and taste for other kinds of prey, baleen whales—known collectively as mysticetes—eventually split off and diverged into 12 or more species including the blue whale, the largest animal ever to ...</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />The majority of sightings continue to be Humpback whales found in inland waters. Earlier in the week, a Humpback whale was found to be tangled up in some fishing gear off of Kinghorn Island in Desolation Sound and authorities were able to locate it and free it within a few hours. It is hoped that all reported whale entanglements can be dealt with in a quick manner, with the successful release of the whale.<br /><br />A Minke whale was reported off of the north end of Texada Island. Minke whales are solitary animals, and they are very elusive as they may surface to breathe quickly once and then dive for long periods of time. There are some "resident" Minke whales off of the north-east coast of Vancouver Island near the Port McNeill area and they can be observed regularly over the summer months. To see Minke whales in the Georgia Strait is rare but they may be in the Strait more than we think. Rounding out our report includes a few sightings of Transient Orca, Northern Resident Orca, Pacific White-sided dolphins, porpoises, and of Grey whales. The Grey whales were seen on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.<br /><br /><i>Ivan Ng, <a href="http://wildoceanwhale.org/" target="_blank">Wild Ocean Whale Society</a></i><br /><br /></span><br />

Connect to our first installation mounted at Beach Gardens Marina click on our<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8t6NRSEEpLeRjj24JFXFQ/live" target="_blank"> YouTube Channel Live Link</a></b>. Please bear with us as we work on the transmission problems causing the intermittent bouncy images. Even with the bouncy images, we still managed to have a couple of whale sightings. The hydrophone (underwater listening) installation will follow.
<br /><br /> <b>Thank You </b>to all our hardworking volunteers and contributors! <br /><br />
Our team of online Volunteers continue to do a great job in making sure all your sightings reports are mapped and published regularly. Would you like to join us?
