Orca Salmon Alliance mourns loss of J17, K25, L84

Today, the Orca Salmon Alliance (OSA), along with all those who love the Southern Resident orcas, mourns the presumed passing of three beloved individuals: J17 (Princess Angeline); K25 (Scoter); and L84 (Nyssa). The Southern Resident population now stands at a shockingly low 73 members – just two higher than the population’s lowest recorded point of 71 following the live captures in the 1960s and 1970s.
