      Puget Sound orcas feeding in California -- again

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      In what a leading orca researcher calls an ominous sign, a group of the killer whales that frequent Puget Sound and nearby waters has turned up feeding off the coast of California for the sixth winter in a row. L pod, one of three orca families that frequent Washington waters, was spotted Sunday off Monterey Bay.

    • Environmental deal struck to allow Navy sonar for war games

      Posted by Billbar from Honolulu Star Bulletin

      The world's largest naval war games will go on as planned, with the 35 warships from the United States and seven Pacific Rim countries allowed to use active sonar.

    Apparently, we may start killing sea lions soon:

    “The bill would create a temporary fast-track process for Oregon, Washington and the four Columbia River treaty tribes to get permits to kill a limited number of the sea lions when nonlethal harassment has failed.”

    So the message is clear, join the Navy or risk being shot! And stop snacking.
