BREAKING NEWS: 10 orcas were recently caught by trawl nets and only ONE survived. Sign the petition NOW to demand the NOAA protect threatened orcas by
stopping corporate overfishing!

You read that right Friend — 9 out of 10 orcas were KILLED after being trapped in fishery equipment this year. Although these orcas were
not from the endangered Southern Resident orca pods, it is a CRITICAL call for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to REIN IN
corporate overfishing once and for all!

The risk of orcas being entangled in fishing equipment has been a major threat
to their survival. While trawl fisheries are catching fish en masse, this
increases the danger of other precious marine life, such as orca whales, being
caught as bycatch. And NOAA has not taken the necessary steps to ensure that this tragedy does not
happen again!

Corporate overfishing is killing orcas as well as decimating Chinook salmon
populations — a primary food source for Southern Resident orcas and essential
for Tribal communities’ fish economy. If we do not hold NOAA accountable for these horrific orca deaths, we could
risk losing more orcas to corporate greed. Act now to demand NOAA end corporate
overfishing >>

[[link removed]]Chinook salmon populations have been declining as well as the population of
Sothern Resident orcas — and corporate overfishing is one of the causes of these
declines. The Pacific Northwest has lost 159 Chinook salmon populations ( almost half of the historic salmon runs! ) — leaving these iconic whales MALNOURISHED and STARVING TO DEATH and the surrounding Tribal communities
under-resourced.

Orcas and nearby residents already face so many threats to their livelihood like climate change, ocean acidification, and increased shipping traffic and
pollution. If there is any hope of restoring the fragile population of this beloved
animal, we need to first replenish salmon, their primary food source. Will you sign the petition to STOP overfishing to help save orcas from
extinction and replenish Chinook salmon for all who rely on it? >>
