The Southern Resident killer whales are icons of the Pacific Northwest, a beloved population of orcas that are considered the most-watched whales in the world. Despite decades of research and focused conservation efforts, they are on the brink of extinction.

Each year J-, K-, and L-Pods return to the inland waters of Washington State and British Columbia, a region known as the Salish Sea, where scientists and whale watchers alike know them as individuals. J2 Granny lost relatives to captivity but went on to lead her family for decades. The controversial satellite tagging of K25 Scoter reshaped orca conservation efforts. L112 Sooke was only three years old when she washed up dead from blunt force trauma to the head on the outer coast, a death shrouded in mystery.

From the capture era and the beginning of killer whale research to the whale-watching boom and endangered listing, the whole story of the Southern Residents is told here. Our relationship to these whales, complicated by both the positive attachments and negative politics we have created around them, has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. With more challenges on the horizon, one question looms can we still create a sustainable future for humans and orcas in the Salish Sea?

Endangered Orcas The Story of the Southern Residents 1 Monika Wieland Shields Reviews

• Good information about orca and their plight. I wish more people would educate themselves by reading what orcas have endured and still endure at the hands of cruel humans.
• What an amazing read about the Southern Residents Killer Whales! Monika Wieland Shields give us a personal and very detailed insight of her personal encounters, experiences and studies of this magnificent species over the years. Her book helps the reader to better understand and appreciate the history and current situation of the Southern Resident Killer Whales of the Pacific Northwest and urges the reader to get involved in the current efforts of saving them. Thanks you for your love and dedication to the SRKWs Monika!
• Monika Wieland Shields has now written the definitive book on the SRKWs, and it's an amazing and impressive work that everyone who cares about this subject needs to read. It's far more thorough, detailed, and accurate in every respect than any other book on the subject, including my own (which is, truthfully, a very different book). In addition to being well written, this is also a very wise book that cuts through the political haze with razor-sharp insight.
