Killer whales and Acoustic Masking in the Marine Environment
Orca
In our recent Final submission of written evidence to the National Energy Board re Kinder Morgans TMX pipeline proposal, our Chapter 3 dealt with the severe threat to Cetaceans from the cumulative increase of vessel traffic from the project.
Since writing that report, more references on this subject have come to light from another Intervenor which all pertain to the risk we are subjecting the Endangered Southern Resident Population of Killer whales to.
