Ask Governor Inslee to stop destroying Chinook salmon habitat – the Orcas' primary food

The Issue

Governor Inslee has approved use of pesticides in Washington marine waters to benefit non-native shellfish -- a very profitable industry that enjoys significant public subsidy. These pesticides are destroying known Chinook salmon habitat, as well as habitat for 55 native species. 

The resident Orca are starving, and their main food source is Chinook salmon.  Ask Governor Inslee to stop putting pesticides into our Orca habitat and jeopardizing our native species for a non-native profit industry.
