For centuries, three unique pods of killer whales havethrived off the coast of Washington, spending summers in the interior waters ofthe Salish Sea, feasting on chinook salmon. For the past 50 years, these orcas'presence has thrilled and fascinated people--biologists, tourists, andunsuspecting boaters and fishermen. But chinook salmon are in trouble--withless than one percent of their historic abundance in the Pacific Northwest. Thebeloved local orca whales' fate has followed the salmon. Dams have been themain culprit behind salmons' demise. A broad and growing coalition ofscientists, economists, conservationists, and citizens say removing the worstfish killing dams is the best chance we have to bring abundant runs of salmonand the orca that rely on them.
