Stoked on Solutions: San Juan Islands
from Sustainability & The Sea · host FutureSwell
"National Geographic would have paid to be here." Carissa and Alex sit down to reflect on their bucket list trip to the San Juan Islands to see orcas, and all the conservation lessons we can use as templates. We share our incredible experience seeing transient orcas in the wild, watching them hunt, and the deep knowledge the naturalists had. We also discuss some sustainability tourism approaches the island had, and how whale watching economies can be used to accelerate ocean protection.
