Killer Whale Tagging near San Juan Islands

September 16th, 2008 near San Juan Islands of Washington state. Cascadia Research collaborating with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center of NOAA tagged this killer whale (orca).

From their website:

"September 16 we encountered a group of four mammal-eating killer whales (T18, T19, T19B, T19C) and were able to deploy a satellite tag on T19B, an approximately 13 year old male."
