But the year is 1914, and they must surrender their fates to uncertainty.  Directed by Robert Hall and starring Cali Bagby and Kelly Toombs. OffCenter Stage.

Dr. Brad Hanson, Wildlife Biologist, Northwest Fisheries Science Center
In Conversation with Joe Gaydos, SeaDoc Society
Southern Resident Killer Whales spend most of the summer months in the waters of the San Juan and Gulf Islands, foraging for Chinook salmon returning to the Fraser River in British Columbia. But until recently little was known about their travels during most of the year - from fall through spring - as these whales had been spotted only infrequently during this time. Hanson's group at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center is using GPS tracking systems embedded in selected whales' dorsal fins to fill this gap in the scientific understanding their behavior. This Orcas Currents lecture is cosponsored by the SeaDoc Society.
