MSSC Comments on Orca Study

December 19, 2023/IAMC-TMX/Marine Shipping

The latest study on Orca populations in British Columbia has revealed alarming findings – these majestic creatures are absorbing toxins from wildfires and oil spills, impacting their health and survival. The research, published in Scientific Reports, found high levels of toxic PAHs in muscle and liver samples of Bigg’s and southern resident Orca’s. Lead investigator Juan José Alava warns that Orca’s are serving as an early warning system for the harmful effects of pollution on marine life, emphasizing the urgent need for environmental action. This groundbreaking study sheds light on the devastating impact of human activities on these iconic marine animals and the delicate balance of our oceans.

"There is still much work to be done. The road to systemic transformation is long, and the resistance to change can be strong. But servant leaders like Richard and Ray (who are both too humble to describe themselves as leaders) show us that progress is possible, even in the face of enormous challenges. "Their work is not just about regulatory reform—it’s about creating a future that is more equitable, sustainable, and respectful of Indigenous rights. As the IPCC notes, a world that is better for all."
