June is Orca Awareness Month

Governor Gregoire has declared June 2012 the 7th annual Orca Awareness Month. If you haven't taken some personal action to lessen impact on Puget Sound and our Southern Resident orca whales, why not start now.



Repairing your auto and boat oil and fuel leaks, switching to gardening without chemicals, modifying landscaping to decrease runoff, staying at least 200 yards away from orcas, reporting polluters, and asking policymakers for strong, science based restoration & protection of Puget Sound are all things you can do to help. It all adds up.

Check out the Orca Network's slate of Orca Awareness events, culminating in the annual June 16 Orca Sing at San Juan Island's Lime Kiln Park.
