Orca Recovery Plan

The Orca Recovery Plan is a strategic effort aimed at protecting and revitalizing the population of orcas, also known as killer whales, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. It focuses on addressing threats such as habitat loss, pollution, declining prey availability (like salmon), and boat traffic. The plan includes measures for habitat restoration, improving water quality, regulating fishing practices, and promoting public awareness and involvement. By implementing these strategies, the goal is to ensure a sustainable future for orcas, supporting their recovery as a vital part of marine ecosystems.
