There are fewer than 80 Southern Resident orcas left – this small community is living on the edge of extinction.
Southern Resident orcas depend on healthy and abundant wild stocks of Chinook salmon – the largest and fattiest type of salmon. Without enough food, the Southern Resident orcas are starving. To save this unique community of orcas, we must recover the Chinook salmon they rely on, from the Fraser River in Canada to the Central Valley in California. #MigrationNation focuses on smart, strategic solutions to restore salmon in the Northwest and California, and to rebuild healthy ecosystems for the long-term survival of Southern Resident orcas and salmon.
BREAKING: H.R. 3144 is a dangerous bill that would hurt salmon and orcas in the Northwest.
This bill is anti-salmon legislation that would overturn multiple court decisions and undermine major federal laws, including the Endangered Species Act. It stops critical actions to help endangered salmon in the Columbia River Basin - and Southern Resident orcas need that salmon. We beat this bad bill once before, but now we need your help again. H.R. 3144 has already passed through the Natural Resource Committee in the House of Representatives, and could be voted on as early as next week.
