I've been collecting string on fish, and mammals that swim of late.
I first spotted this orca story this weekend, talking about the sea wolves going down to California to find something to eat, because presumably, they can't find grub up here (fish, salmon, seals).
In the all things are connected train of thought, part of the reason there may not be enough food to keep the orcas here, can be traced to the environmental degredation that results in fewer fish for them to eat in the first place.
Of course, they might not find the salmon fishing much better in California, according to this article.
Finally, there's an interesting New York Times piece that talks about environmental groups struggling to define what to protect in the age of global warming and changing ecosystems. The article again talks about the effort to save the salmon here, when the fish are having trouble making it upstream due to thermal blocks in the rivers.
