Actually A Morton is quite humble. She has been studying killer Whales for for over 30 years and has published with the aquariums John Ford. Her work in the field and at her research station complements the research done by Dr Spong of OrcaLab..She and her husband filmed the first underwater footage of Killer Whales rubbing themselves at Robson Bight. and she has had dozens of articles , papers and books published.on whales, dolphins, other marine life, fish farms and sea lice.

i looked up killer whales on Vancouver aquariums website and their information doesn't agree with what you are saying about the whales and their territory or their diet. According to the other things I've read on the internet sites like from orcalab their information is quite different to yours. These people have studied whales for a long time like forty years or more. How come this woman thinks she knows more than them ?

@TheGardenmaker Transient Orcas eat seals, sea lions, otters, birds, ground fish, you name it. But the residents, both the Southern residents and Northern Residents survive on Salmon. That's it, just salmon. So, you are the one who is wrong. Alexandra Morton's work is very respectable, and countless scientific journals have backed her research.

Who oversees Ms Morton's research ?
