British Columbia’s southern resident killer whales are on the verge of extinction. This population of orcas is down to 74 as of September 2018. As a result of climate change, pollution, overfishing, and fish farming, the herring and chinook salmon population has declined. Chinook rely on herring and orcas rely on chinook as staple food sources. Constant vessel traffic creates ocean noise affecting the essentiality of echolocation communication.
This life of stress and poor nutrition has resulted in orca’s becoming Canada’s most endangered marine mammal. The killer whales are an important symbol for Canadians history and culture, displaying significance for First Nations and a major factor in the ocean ecosystem. This concerning crisis needs to be recognized by Canadian Government ministers to create change.

I would like to raise awareness about the issue of the inhumane mass slaughtering of dolphins for the sale and consumption of their mercury-laden meat. This occurs annually in Taiji, Japan. Many pods of dolphins are chased into a cove to their deaths (known as a drive hunt.) Some dolphins that are considered “show quality” are ripped apart from their families and shipped off to marine animal entertainment industries.The Japanese government and Taiji officials have done nothing to stop this atrocious 50 year old tradition; remaining ignorant to the obvious faults of the practice.

But, their controversial ritual poses a health hazard, warn public health authorities.
Dr Pal Weihi, who specialises in toxicology at the Department of Occupational and Public Health on the islands, recommends pregnant women and those planning to have children should avoid eating pilot whales.
That’s because of the high levels of mercury and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) released by industries into the environment, which end up in the whale meat.
Phys Org points out that this can affect people’s intellectual and neurological development, and weaken their immune systems.
This mercury-laced meat has been shown in a major study by Weihi to impair islanders’ cognitive function, and increased their risk of Parkinson’s disease, reports The Guardian.

Blue Planet Society has had more than 260,000 people sign its online petition calling for a ban on the hunt of dolphins and small whales in Japan and the Faroe Islands.
It says that “more than 100,000 dolphins and small whales are hunted and killed every year.
“Most hunts are unregulated, illegal and unsustainable with unknown impacts on populations.”
In 2009 a film, The Cove, which showed the practice of shepherding and slaughtering dolphins in a small bay in Taiji, Japan, won an Academy award for best documentary.
It prompted outrage across the world as fishermen were depicted piercing the spines of 2,000 dolphins with a sharp spike, before ramming a wooden plug into the wound to stop the blood turning the sea red.
