I spent most of my summer watching for killer whales and talking to islanders about new sanctuary zones for the southern residents. So excited to have a feature published in @thenarwhalca !! Give it a read here https://t.co/xnKP1MI2Ug

[Lauren McWhinnie @Lhm3Lauren]

Fantastic new article by @sofia_osborne featuring some of the work I do on Saturna with @_sfrey_ @SIMRES @UVicResearch The #SRKW are in serious trouble and they need humans to take decisive and meaningful actions, are these sanctuary zones enough to save them!?! #forthewhales
