15. Why are human feet washing up on beaches in the Salish Sea?

from Pod of Orcas · host SeaDoc Society

Human feet have been washing up on beaches in the Pacific Northwest's Salish Sea since at least 2007. But why? Turns out there are scientific explanations for "why feet?" and "why here?" The answer sheds light on why the ecosystem's name—The Salish Sea—is important, and why place names matter in general.
