Puget Sound orcas cause delays for research ship
An expedition to study earthquake and tsunami risks off the coasts of Washington and Oregon has been scaled back for now out of concerns for endangered Puget Sound orcas. Scientists aboard the research vessel Marcus Langseth are using sonar to map a major earthquake fault along the Northwest coast, KPLU radio station reported Friday, June 15, 2012. The seismic researchers got a permit from the National Marine Fisheries Service, the federal agency that protects whales, to conduct three research studies on the 680-mile Cascadia subduction zone off the Oregon and Washington coast. http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/article/20120616/NEWS/120619988/puget-sound-orcas-cause-delays-for-research-ship
