The report Strengthening recovery actions for southern resident killer whales was born out of the SRKW workshop Dr. Tennessen attended last spring. The recommendations in the report were developed by a panel of killer whale, salmon, and conservation scientists. The three main recommendations include:
- Improving quality, abundance, and access to prey
- Reducing acoustic and physical disturbance, and
- Reducing discharges of priority contaminants.
They also list 12 key research gaps that will guide effective conservation action. The full report can be accessed here.
