Southern Resident Orcas J Pod Home Again! 8-15-19 San Juan Island (SRKW)

J Pod including the newest member 12-week-old J56 traveled up & down San Juan Island's west side after a 6 week absence. Facing extinction the Southern Residents are suffering a critical food shortage and habitat degradation. Last month CWR reported three adult orca missing and presumed dead reducing the population to just 73 individuals. Missing are J17 a 42-year-old female, K25 a 28-year-old male and L84 a 29 year old male.
