"This report exposes the staggering amount of water pollution cruise ship traffic releases into B.C. coastal waters in non-pandemic years. It begs the question: How can we build back better in the future to confidently welcome back cruise ships?" -Anna Barford of @standearth
"If the 2020 cruise season had gone ahead, the habitat of endangered #SRKW & threatened #NRKW would have had to deal w 220M litres of sewage, 1.8B litres of greywater, and a dominating 31B litres of scrubber washwater off the coast of B.C." -Anna Barford @standearth #bcpoli
Yesterday #waleg passed our bill that secures a win-win compromise to protect our endangered Southern Resident orcas from boaters while also supporting the economic viability of Washington's whale watching industry. #SRKW #orcas
This legislation is the most immediate way to help our Southern Resident orcas, giving them more space and quieter waters to find the salmon that are here today, while we work on creating more salmon across the state. #waleg #SRKW #orcas
Thank you to the whale watching industry, Sen. Rolfes, Sen. Frockt, Rep. Blake and Rep. @joefitzgibbon for collaborating with us on this important bill. This innovative approach will significantly reduce underwater noise, and enhance echolocation and communication for our orcas.
We must restore our ecosystem to one that sustains orcas, salmon and the quality of life for all. Today the House made a big move toward saving Southern Resident orcas by passing all three of our #orca bills with bipartisan support. #waleg #SRKW #zerospillswa 
HB 1578 will protect WA’s natural resources from devastating #oilspills. Preserving the health of our waters, orcas and salmon is crucial to our cultural identity, fishing economy and tourism industry. I thank Rep. Lekanoff for sponsoring this important bill. #waleg #zerospillswa
HB 1579 will implement the recommendations of my #SRKW task force to increase the abundance of Chinook salmon so #orcas have more food. I am grateful to Rep. @joefitzgibbon for your leadership on this bill. #waleg
