Ehattesaht First Nation Chief Simon John says a highly orchestrated attempt to rescue a killer whale calf stranded in a Vancouver Island lagoon could happen as early as next week.
Plans to save a killer whale calf stranded in a remote tidal lagoon off northern Vancouver Island for almost two weeks have been elevated to attempts to feed the young animal.
A stranded killer whale calf is showing signs of regular activity as it breaches every seven to 10 minutes in a lagoon near the northern Vancouver Island village of Zeballos.
A British Columbia marine research group says a female killer whale died on Saturday after being stranded in shallow water near the Village of Zeballos on the west side of Vancouver Island.
Road and weather conditions will remain treacherous and cold — especially for remote communities with no power — before Vancouver Island returns to more typical mild temperatures over the weekend.
