Southern Resident Orca & Wild Salmon Extinction Emergency


We are in a wild salmon and Southern Resident Killer Whale Extinction Emergency. 


Please contact President Biden now by writing to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500, calling 202-456-1111 Tu-We-Th between 11-3 EST, texting 302-404-0880 and/or submitting comments.


Tell him he can stop both extinctions by immediately breaching the lower Snake River dams. As Commander in Chief of the Army, he can order the Army Corps of Engineers to begin the actual breach before the end of his term. He can do this now because he may be at the height of his power between November 5, 2024, election day, and the inauguration of a new president, since he is not running. We wrote to him, more than 25 people and organizations signed on, and we are waiting for the president’s response. Please click this button to read our letter. We need to push now, so he has time to take action.

 


Most urgent reasons to breach. The Snake River dams are killing the wild salmon on which the Southern Resident orcas depend. The orcas are chronically starving from lack of chinook salmon. In the last decade, 28 Southern Residents have died, while only 14 have been born and survived. Their spiral to extinction has quickened. Over the last year, a number of Southern Resident Orca females were known to be pregnant. Yet only two calves were observed alive. Both perished within their first month. The last born, L128, became severely emaciated before it disappeared. According to NOAA and the great majority of PNW salmon biologists, wild Snake River salmon will recover, only if the dams are breached immediately. Breaching will give the Southern Resident Orcas the quickest and best opportunity to recover, since history shows that the Snake River has an enormous potential to produce huge runs of salmon.


Please act now, before this opportunity is lost!
