We’re taking another step to protect the iconic Southern Resident Killer Whales off of Canada’s Pacific Coast. A new Marine Mammal Desk in Sidney, #BC will monitor the ocean for whales to alert vessels and mariners in real time to better prevent strikes and entanglements. #SRKW https://www.canada.ca//canadian-coast-guard-opens-the-firs .....
