In the Salish Sea off Seattle and Vancouver lives an orca with a tall, hooked dorsal fin. Her formal name is J19, but she is better known as Shachi. And Shachi is a boss.

The presence of grandmas, which often lead pods of killer whales, has long-term benefits, a study finds.

Video Solves Mystery of How Narwhals Use Their Tusks

and now we finally know: Behavior captured for the first time on camera shows narwhals using the long tusks protruding from their heads to stun Arctic cod by hitting them, using jagged, quick movements. This behavior immobilizes the fish, making them easier to prey upon. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/05/drone-footage-narwhal-tusk-mystery/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=link_fb20170515news-narwhaltusksvideo&utm_campaign=Content&sf78919548=1

Drone footage taken in the far northeastern regions of Canada finally sheds light on how narwhals use the massive tusks protruding from their heads.

Dam Sense

This is a very important message.

Howard Garrett, Orca Network, writes about the life and death of J2 Granny. He calls out that her clan needs salmon and “the salmon they depend on have been decimated by decades of all manner of habitat degradation, overharvest, and river blockage.” His words are followed by a sampling of recent press coverage that reached far and wide telling of Granny’s death; from Canada to the UK, Japan and China, all over the United States and beyond. The Smithsonian, TIME, National Geographic, The Washington Post, BBC News and many more have helped the world know that there's trouble for resident orcas and salmon. It's becoming more and more obvious to the general public that recovery of Southern Resident Killer Whales is closely tied to salmon recovery on the Snake River and that those wild salmon runs are perilously close to extinction.

Please share this webpage with your representatives in congress to let them know the cat is out of the bag. They need to know that the public is aware the dams are losers ($$$) and killers (salmon) and it wants them breached in 2017. Here's the short link if you are tweeting: wp.me/P5qW0k-1Jp

Tilikum the orca entertained us, but he was born to be wild

Yes, so true ... tell the world how wrong this is: Wild animals don't belong in amusement parks or circuses. http://www.tampabay.com/news/perspective/tilikum-the-orca-entertained-us-but-he-was-born-to-be-wild/2309529

As a summer whale-watching guide leading hundreds of tours, I have been witness to the wonder of orcas living as they were meant to live: swimming up to 100 miles a day, jumping for the sheer joy of it, and even responding to humans in ways that can't be explained by science alone.

Dam Sense

We cannot stress this enough; those Snake River dams have got to come down now.

Well, thank you Mirror Daily for the focus [Nov 2] …“The orcas living in Puget Sound are endangered as their numbers dropped down to 80 specimens. Scientists underline that breaching four dams is the best solution to address this issue.” If only everyone understood this and our leaders were willing to ACT by December 2016, before it’s too late. THIS MORNING is the time to contact the White House, and local politicians as the end of 2016 draws near. http://damsense.org/contact-local-officials/

Call me to book your safari to meet Fred at Angama Mara. He is truly AMAZING! I so enjoyed my nature walk with him in the hills where "Out of Africa" was filmed.

Yowzers! Thank you National Geographic Traveller for profiling our Maasai Naturalist, Fred Ole Sinoni, on the handsome cover of the September 2016 issue. Warmest thanks to journalist Emma Gregg (emmagregg.com) for coming to stay and interviewing Elizabeth and Fred – we are all over the moon. And congrats to James Walsh and Sinamatella Productions for their first cover!

Saying Last Goodbyes to Tilikum | Ocean Advocate News

So sorry it has to end this way dear Tillicum; you didn't deserve this at all. Orcas are not meant to be a public entertainment show in a small tank. It's time to end this nightmare once and for all orcas now.

Ocean Advocate News is a digital news magazine dedicated to reporting international and national stories relating to marine mammal conservation and captivity. We are passionate about putting an end to cetacean captivity and protecting threatened marine life.
