Virtual Sound Waters University Symposium | Saturday, February 5, 2022 | 8:30 am - 3:15 pm PST
Lynda V. Mapes Keynote is 8:45am - 9:45am
Take a deep dive with author Lynda V. Mapes into the world of the southern resident killer whales, one of the most complex, intelligent societies on our planet. The southern residents co-evolved with the salmon of our region and saving the southern resident killer whales from extinction requires rebuilding the salmon populations these orcas depend on. We know from successes throughout our region that change is possible and if given the chance to rebound, nature quickly responds. We know what to do, how to do it, and even where these actions are needed. What is needed now is the political will and funding to make more of these large-scale restoration actions happen, all over our region. If we do our part, orcas and salmon will take care of the rest.
