Would you help us save our resident orca whales (killer whales)? We have thought of three ways to save our orca whales.  Read on to find out more information.

The first way to save our orcas is to pick up garbage.  The whales might eat it and get sick.  After they eat the trash they might die. So pick up your trash and put it in the right spot.

The second way to save our orcas is to follow the boat rules. When you are in a boat and you see whales you should turn off the motor so it doesn’t mess up the whale communication.  If you are fishing, pull up the fishing line. Stay a safe distance from the orcas so they don’t hit the motor and get hurt.

The third way to help the orcas is to not spill things in the Salish Sea. Toxins can harm the Chinook Salmon and whales when they eat them. Pollution can also lower the orca food chain.

Those are some of the things we can do to help our resident orca whales.

Please read over these ideas and choose some of the things you can do to help the killer whales!
