• Posted Threats To Orcas: Captivity to Save The Orcas
  For a population of animals to grow and thrive, the first requirement will always be adult specimens of both genders that have reached reproductive age. The more whales mating in a region, the bigger the area pods can grow. With the 17 month long gestation period necessary to produce a baby orca, population growth can be understandably slow without a high level of breeding activity.
• Posted Threats To Orcas: Water Pollution to Save The Orcas

Still, there are many violators of the rules and not enough resources to adequately enforce the Clean Water Act.
• Posted Threats To Orcas: Salmon Shortages to Save The Orcas
  An average adult orca can consume anywhere between 100 to 300 pounds of food a day. For many families - including the Southern Resident pods of the Pacific Northwest and Canada - this diet consists primarily of salmon. Sadly, the populations of Pacific salmon have been in decline for the last few decades. What will our orcas do if their food source disappears?
• Posted Threats To Orcas: Noise Pollution to Save The Orcas
  Noise pollution is a major cause of concern in regards to the world's cetaceans, who rely on sound for their very existence. Orcas and other dolphins use a communications system called 'echolocation' to find food, explore their environment, and interact...

  Oil spills have long been a danger to our world's environment and wildlife. The most well-known and publicly exposed oil spill - the crash of the Exxon Valdez - raised our nation's general awareness of the risks mankind take when...
