Recovery Strategy for the Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whales (Orcinus Orca) in Canada
Author: Christie McMillanPublisher:
ISBN: 9780660286143
Category : Killer whale
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
"The “Recovery Strategy for the Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Canada” was finalized and published on the Species at Risk Public Registry in 2008. Minor amendments to the recovery strategy were made in 2011 to provide additional clarification regarding critical habitat for Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whales. This recovery strategy is here with amended once again to include identification of additional critical habitat for these populations and to provide minor updates to background and species information. Additionally, sections of the recovery strategy have been reordered to align with current templates"--Executive summary, p. vi.

Book Description
"This document reports the progress towards meeting the objectives listed in the Recovery Strategy for the Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Canada (Recovery Strategy) from 2009 to 2014 and should be considered as one of a linked series of documents for these populations, including: the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) status report (COSEWIC 2008), a Recovery Strategy (Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) 2009, amended in 2011), and an Action Plan (DFO 2016). Section 2 of the progress report reproduces or summarizes key information on the challenges the species is facing, the population goal for achieving its recovery, approaches for meeting this goal, and performance measures to gauge the progress of recovery. For more detail, readers should refer back to the Recovery Strategy. Section 3 reports the progress of activities identified in the Recovery Strategy supporting the recovery goal and objectives. Section 4 summarizes the progress made and the outcome of the recovery effort through 2014"--Introduction.
Action Plan for the Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whale (Orcinus Orca) in Canada

Pages : 33
Book Description
"The Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) were listed as Threatened and Endangered, respectively, under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in 2003. This Action Plan is considered one in a series of documents that are linked and should be taken into consideration together, including the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) status report, a recovery potential assessment, and the Recovery Strategy. Principal among the anthropogenic threats to recovery are reductions in the availability or quality of prey, environmental contamination, and both physical and acoustic disturbance. As these threats are common to all three ecotypes, the measures identified in the Resident Killer Whale Action Plan are highly likely to benefit Transient (Bigg's) and Offshore Killer Whale populations that frequent Canadian Pacific waters. This Action Plan outlines measures that provide the best chance of achieving the population and distribution objectives for the species, including the measures to be taken to address the threats and monitor the recovery of the species. The recovery strategy defined the population and distribution objective for the Northern and Southern Resident Killer Whale as: Ensure the long-term viability of Resident Killer Whale populations by achieving and maintaining demographic conditions that preserve their reproductive potential, genetic variation, and cultural continuity"--Executive summary, p. iii.

Recovery Plan for Southern Resident Killer Whales (Orcinus Orca)
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Killer whale
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
"This plan identifies a range of actions that will contribute to recovery of Southern Resident killer whales. Many of these actions will have a direct effect on killer whale habitat, but they will also help restore and improve a range of habitats, species and ecosystem processes. Although the recovery plan is focused on Southern Residents, the proposed actions will benefit many native species and natural communities. The plan refers to significant efforts on local, state and regional levels to address recovery of other species (particularly salmon), clean up of Puget Sound and management of local resources. Salmon recovery programs throughout Washington, Oregon and California as well as in Canada identify goals that will benefit the entire ecosystem. The Puget Sound Partnership provides a comprehensive approach to cleaning up inland waters of Puget Sound. There are numerous local efforts that are also focused on improving the health of the ecosystem such as the Marine Stewardship Area established in San Juan County. Over time, each of these programs should improve the overall health and biodiversity of the ecosystem. This plan provides background information on Southern Resident killer whale life history and status, and existing protective measures. Recovery goals and criteria are provided along with recovery actions, research and monitoring tasks in a narrative outline. Priorities and costs for the measures are provided in an implementation table"--Introduction.
Recovery Strategy for the Offshore Killer Whale (Orcinus Orca) in Canada

Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
"Offshore Killer Whales face both anthropogenic and natural threats, limitations or vulnerabilities, including: reductions in prey availability; contaminant exposure from prey; spills of substances harmful to the marine environment; acute and chronic acoustic disturbance; physical disturbance; interactions with commercial fisheries and aquaculture; direct killing; climate change; disease agents; fixed dietary preferences and natural decreases in prey supply; inbreeding depression; tooth wear; and mass stranding or natural entrapment. The small population size and typically large groupings of Offshores makes the population particularly vulnerable to stochastic events"--Executive summary, p. iii.
