The orcas doing this are tuna eaters, and we are depleting the tuna population.
Barbate is very close to my hometown. Tuna was captured in the area since Roman times:

My father's family used to work in Sancti Petri, a village created around the almadraba, then closed half a century ago.

Why did it close? Competence from japanese factory boats. Tuna was captured in deep sea before they coasted north. I believe Barbate still has one.
Another explanation in local news is that orcas get mad with the sound of motors and propellers. The nearby straight bears very heavy traffic.
