Description

Two years ago the world watched in sadness as an orca pushed her dead calf through Puget Sound for 17 days. The event brought attention to the unique “Southern Resident Killer Whale” pods that are believed to be starving as their primary food source of king salmon declines. In response to customer concerns, some grocery stores stopped selling king salmon, but that came with unintended consequences. Hear how a fisheries expert and a progressive-minded grocery store chain in the PNW teamed up to develop a groundbreaking way to safely and sustainably put king salmon back on the menu for humans and orcas.
