The Orca Revolution Part 2

Freedom of Species 21 April 2024 6


Background
share close

  Join us as we revisit the fascinating and ongoing saga of orcas attacking boats off the Iberian Peninsula. Since May of 2020 orcas have been attacking, damaging and in some cases sinking boats off the Iberian Peninsula between Morocco, Portugal and Spain, and no one knows for certain why. What are their motives? How has this negative human/orca interaction played out? Is it escalating? What will the clashes lead to? Listen to the first Orca Revolution episode below: The Orca Revolution Part 1: https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/orca-revolution-why-are-orcas-attacking-boats-iberian-peninsula Marine biologist KP’s website: https://www.kpassionate.com/ Website for further information on the iberian orca’s attacking boats: https://www.orcaiberica.org/ Article Boat-sinking orcas are on the move – and scientists don’t know why: https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/17/boat-sinking-orcas-move-scientists-dont-know-20667311/ Music Gladis by Gemas https://gemasbanda.bandcamp.com/track/gladis Tilikum by Airspace https://airspaceofficial.bandcamp.com/track/tilikum-single Killer Whale by Dark Smith https://darksmith.bandcamp.com/track/killer-whale Photo courtesy of Mike Doherty https://unsplash.com/photos/black-and-white-whale-on-water-during-daytime-iyVSCp0ZUj0
