It’s also tough to change things. Reviving an ecosystem end to end to create viable salmon populations for orcas is tough. For example, some believe all the dams on rivers where chinook salmon swim should be breached, which is controversial (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/the-elwha-dams-are-gone-and-chinook-are-surging-back-but-why-are-so-few-reaching-the-upper-river/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/the-el...). Maybe we need to just release farm raised fish into the sea to sustain the orcas until then? But I do agree the governments (and people) don’t care. Seattle is a problem because it is a big dense population that brings a disproportionate, concentrated impact to the Puget Sound - everything ranging from opioids in the marine food chain to dumping raw sewage directly into those waters. It’s a city that professes environmental culture but doesn’t do much about it, because it would be too inconvenient to admit that it’s very existence is a problem (as opposed to more distributed populations in sustainable balance with their environment).
