With all non-essential activities in the Northwest shut down for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, most people are staying home with their families in an effort to flatten the curve. Along with the health of the Southern Residents, the health of all those who love them and our community are our top priority.
Since everyone is staying home and the schools are closed, the Orca Salmon Alliance would like to offer you some resources for online orca education, fun activities, and art projects anyone can do from the comfort of their own home.
On this page you will find some fun educational resources for all ages to enjoy. We will continue to update the page with more resources so please keep checking back! Also be sure to stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram accounts for daily orca updates, fun videos, photos, and resources.
If you have any online resources for Southern Resident orcas or salmon that could be added to our ever growing lists, please email orcamonthmanager@gmail.com
