June is Orca Action Month in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia.

The month-long celebration will unite researchers, advocates, and orca lovers, and helps raise awareness of the threats facing Southern Resident orcas.

The Orca Month theme for 2022 is “Stream to Sea: Celebrating the Orca-Salmon connection.”

The Orca Salmon Alliance will host a virtual Orca Month Kick-off from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 5. Through a mix of videos and presentations, the public can learn about rivers and streams that are important to the survival of Southern Resident orcas and what people can do to protect them.
