NOTES FROM THE FIELD | 2024 | No. 2
Take a Breath

(NMFS ESA Permit #21348)
Killer whales are found in every ocean across the globe. From the
frigid waters of the Arctic to the tropical Gulf of Mexico, these
iconic apex predators thrive in diverse marine environments. But in
the Salish Sea between Washington and British Columbia, fewer than 75
Southern Resident killer whales

remain.
To help this endangered population
[link removed]
recover, conservationists first need crucial information about their
health. How do you do a checkup on a species that lives underwater and
swims up to 35 miles per hour? In a groundbreaking collaborative
effort with our partners, teams are using specially designed drones to
collect breath droplets-exhaled in a cloud‐like plume
from the blowhole when the whales surface.
These samples provide critical insights to devise conservation plans
for endangered killer whales-and your support makes it possible!
With allies like you by our side, we're innovating for wildlife
through our Oceans Conservation Hub

so that all who share our seas can thrive.

TURNING THE TIDES
Across the Arctic, polar bears

rely on vast expanses of sea ice to hunt, traverse the landscape, and
raise their young. Sadly, their ecosystem is melting underfoot from
human-driven climate change. Leveraging innovative technology,
collaborative partnerships, and cutting-edge efforts from the San
Diego Zoo, we're exploring new conservation solutions for this
iconic species.

live in oceans at opposite corners of the world, but both are
endangered-and the threats they face are similar.
