Pacific Northwest Salish Sea Wildlife
Two humpback whales, one of which is a local favorite known as BCY0324 "Big Mama", surface in Haro Strait on the international border between Washington and British Columbia.
The Salish Sea is one of the richest and most biologically diverse inland seas in the world. This area of staggering beauty is home to some of the world's most iconic wildlife. Yet all of it is being put at risk by the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline which will lead to a seven fold in the number of tankers carrying tar sands oil through the Salish Sea and massively increasing the risks of an oil spill in this beautiful part of the world.
