Orchestrating orcas
Forget killing birds — federal scientists think they can save two species with one stone. A plan to revive salmon runs on the Sacramento River might also salvage killer whale populations 700 miles to the north in Puget Sound, a fact that highlights the complex task of managing an enormous ecosystem that stretches from California to Alaska along the Pacific Coast. Declining salmon stocks have put a pinch on the orcas, which are estimated to eat up to 500,000 of the fish each year. (Text from The Daily Briefing)
