    Exclamation Government of Canada protects two new areas off British Columbia’s coast for Orcas

    Government of Canada protects two new areas off British Columbia’s coast for Resident Killer Whales


    The newly identified areas of critical habitat announced today are located in the waters off the coast of southwestern Vancouver Island, including Swiftsure and La Pérouse Banks, and in western Dixon Entrance, all of which are key foraging areas for both Resident Killer Whales. These new zones will increase the area of critical habitat for endangered killer whales by approximately 6,419 square kilometers to an area of approximately 10,714 square kilometres of Canadian waters. Designating these areas as “critical habitat” ensures they are legally protected against destruction that could hinder survival or recovery of the whales.


    Going forward, the government will be considering what additional measures are required to enhance protection within these areas of critical habitat to assist with the recovery of the whale population...

    There are a ton of sport fishing tourism dollars brought into B.C. in those areas

    Money simply doesn't matter (if you're a ruling liberal) and anyhow, none of these areas border anywhere near a liberal held riding.

    Getting it yet?

    Yet the Continuation of Governments and residents Raw Shit flows into the Straight off our Capital city....just one of the many reasons we are where we are today, but hit the Sporties, hit the small comunities hardest....keep on keeping on with Fish Farms, continue to feed the Boom of Seals and Lions, unchecked or controlled, keep wacking away on them herring too, oh and be sure to leave those FN nets across the rivers from side to side. It all is a Huge help to SRKW
    Way to go DFO and decision makers of Goverment. Your real pieces of work.

    Fricken Bafoons!

    The DFO is responsible for more f**k ups in the history of Canada's fisheries (on all coasts) than any and all other government agencies combined.

    It's beyond painful, and yet it continues unabated.

    What gets me is the bitch Misty Macduffass and Co will be doing their snoopy dance all giddy like. They put zero money into steam rehabilitation, hatcheries (because they are wrong), net pens etc but still take their donations to shut something else down. I have sent that bitch numerous letters, scientific papers etc showing real science and not the bullshit she spews and she replied once with an arrogant comment that killer whales have big black dorsal fins and that the whales were seen North of my house ( i live on the ocean south facing, north of me is the Juan de Fuca ridge), shit she is in charge of the fraser smolt program and refuses to agree that the seals and sea lions are a problem at the mouth of the fraser, oh well what do you expect from a toys are us biologist. Any body looking for a nice northwest aluminium for sale..... Between Turdo and our 2 dipshits in office in BC we will probably be a have not province next year, job well done you meatheads!!!

    True that.

    DFO is very good at pushing hidden agendas while making claims they are protecting X.
    If one looks into the historic background on this particular issue, you would tend to strongly agree with that statement.
    The areas offshore Pacific Rim Park have long been hungrily eyed by Parks Canada. In fact, they tried (twice) to propose National Marine Parks areas adjacent to the Pacific Rim (and beyond - adjacent to the West Coast Trail). Understanding the extreme protectionism mentality that prevails within Parks caused a LOT of concern, and when the suggested management plan came out and confirmed their intentions in that regard, the proposals were most soundly defeated.


    Jump forward to this little exercise. One guess who was the co-author with DFO in designing these Critical Habitat Areas (some - notably LaPerouse Bank with ZERO scientific backing)?? And one guess who is getting set up to administrate / govern these areas? Yep, Parks has found a windfall, as these areas now succumb to them, and are vastly larger than what they proposed in their own advances.


    DFO knows these listings and potential closures will have very VERY little positive effect regarding Orcas. They also well understand these whales are not in as much "dire straights" as is being purported by many. But hey, at least it looks like they are trying to do something, and their buddies at Parks are grinning all the way to the far offshore.


    The Northern Group has been expanding it's population numbers for some time. They are by no means in any trouble whatsoever. The CH designation off the Queen Charlottes is a complete sham. Period.


    The southern group is still within observed population variances over many decades (from a high of 98 to a low of 68 back up to 96 then down to 72). However they have now become the Poster Child for a handful of the over-hyped NGO's seeking something they can champion. The LaPerouse area has NEVER been documented as an area they frequent. However DFO (in collusion with Parks) decided that if recreational / commercial fishing is "good" there, it somehow must be of serious importance for the whales (although they don't actually frequent the area). This CH designation is also a sham. Period.


    This entire exercise is nothing but a DFO / Parks grab / sham.It will do NOTHING to aid these whales whatsoever. It does however let DFO say they are trying, and Parks gets to realize their forever dream of one of the largest marine parks in the world.

    Too bad if you happen to live there. Most of the small communities that are about to be effected rely heavily on fishing to make them viable. Several no longer will be. But then again, NONE of these areas are bordered by any riding that the liberals took last time around...


    Sad!!

    Well, Washington state is spending big money on the issue, so there must be something to it. Regardless of numbers, the southern residents do indeed have peanut head from a lack of food.

    Culling seals would be great, but we all know that'll never happen. Looks like the fishing closure might be needed then.
    When in doubt, just pin it.
