Is It Too Late for the Southern Resident Orcas?

J40 in front of the Center for Whale Research (Photo: Courtesy Center for Whale Research) Ken is one of the greats. He is among the first generation of whale researchers. He has spent the past four decades studying the Southern Resident killer whale population of the Pacific Northwest and has shared his house, his yard, his run-down cars, his boat, his beer, his data, his equipment, his enthusiasm, his time, and his ideas with scientists, students, volunteers, and killer whale lovers all over the world.  Ken never followed a well-defined academic career path.
