“…The summer and fall diets of SRKW, in particular, appear to be composed largely of Chinook salmon returning to tributaries in the Salish Sea, including the Fraser River and Puget Sound (Hanson et al, 2021). Similarly, analyses of body condition (Stewart et al, 2021), demographic rates (Vélez‐Espino et al, 2014), and the timing of SRKW visitation to the Salish Sea (Ettinger et al, 2022) all suggest that SRKW health, population dynamics, and movement patterns may be influenced by Fraser River and Puget Sound Chinook returns. Traditionally, all three matrilineal family units have been found regularly in the central Salish Sea between April and October (Olson et al, 2018), in what has been designated as their core summer habitat (National Marine Fisheries Service, 2008; Figure 1).…”
