- Summary:
- Call of the Orcas, the first film in The Salish Sea trilogy, explores the urgent effort to understand and recover resident orcas of the Salish Sea, through the eyes of one of their early science champions, Ken Balcomb. Balcomb's determined survey work over nearly fifty years helped people to see these orcas as individuals, in family groups led by grandmothers. His sustained research effort transformed how people of the Pacific Northwest understood their urban orca neighbors, and it helped to end the practice of capturing orca calves for sale to Seaquariums.
