Dr. Jennifer Tennessen collaborator in report about Southern Resident Killer Whales

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:

  1. Improving quality, abundance, and access to prey
  2. Reducing acoustic and physical disturbance, and
  3. 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.
