Salmon, orca experts to discuss whale decline
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRIDAY HARBOR -- Salmon and orca experts plan to discuss the recent apparent deaths of seven Puget Sound killer whales.

Scientists with the Puget Sound Partnership have scheduled a special meeting Tuesday in Friday Harbor to discuss whether a decline in Chinook salmon is playing a role in the plight of the whales, and what the state agency can do about it.

Seven of the endangered animals are missing and presumed dead. While an official census won't be completed until December, the total number of live "southern resident" orcas now stands at 83.
