    Give BIG to support The Whale Trail today! Our goa Give BIG to support The Whale Trail today! Our goal is to raise $5,000 by midnight tonight. Will you help us get there? With your help we'll keep making it easier for southern residents to find and share their prey. WIth seven calves under five years old, the future of the population is here. Their ability to survive and thrive depend on actions that we take today. Donate here: https://mtyc.co/sg0wxf We've spent the last five months supporting SB 5371, which will soon become law. The bill establishes a 1,000-buffer around the southern residents for all boaters, and is based on science showing the impact of noise on foraging. We're not done yet. We need your help to to be sure the whales get the protection they need throughout their range. And until the laws change, we'll encourage boaters to take the voluntary pledge to stay 1000 yards away at givethemspace.org. Give BIG today! Together we're making a tangible difference in the lives of these vulnerable and iconic pods, and giving them a chance to go on. Thank you from the bottom of our orca-loving hearts! #givebig #givebigwashington

Please give these endangered orcas the space they need to forage, rest and tend their young. Take the pledge at givethemspace.org to stay 1,000 yards away at sea. The best way to watch southern residents is from shore.
    Twenty-one years ago, a young orca was discovered Twenty-one years ago, a young orca was discovered near Seattle—lost, alone and 300 miles away from home. Six months later she was rescued and returned to her family on the north end of Vancouver Island. Today Springer is thriving, with two calves of her own. It's the only successful orca reunion in history! Whale Trail founder Donna Sandstrom was a community organizer on the project. How people worked together, and how the whales responded, inspires her every day. We hope you'll give it a read!

They were stretched out and traveling slowly, unusually close to our side of the Sound. Hundreds of people watched from shore, and I don't think any of us will ever forget it. Hope and inspiration for all we do. Happy New Year, everyone! (Thanks to Robin Sinner for the photos.)

The new book "Orca Rescue: the True Story of an Orphaned Orca Named Springer," describes how she was rescued, rehabilitated, and returned to her pod on the north end of Vancouver Island. Today she is thriving, with calves of her own. Hear the inspiring story from a panelist of people who lived it, and its lasting lessons for the recovery of Southern Residents. This webinar is co-sponsored by the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and NOAA Fisheries Service #KillerWhales #SRKW #SpeciesInTheSpotlight Photo of Springer in Puget Sound by Mark Sears.
