The small Prince of Wales Island community of Coffman Cove rallied together to save a couple of unexpected visitors — two orcas in Barnes Lake.
The orcas were spotted in mid-August, appearing at first to be a pair of jet skis gliding atop the water’s surface.Using surveillance images taken by members of the community, officials were able to identify the whales as members of the group known as Biggs’ killer whales, a group named after marine biologist Michael Bigg. Bigg’s research in the 1970s and 1980s determined that orcas, also known as killer whales, form distinct family groups and their own unique cultures.
As experts became increasingly concerned about the whale’s diminished diet while in the relatively enclosed waters of the lake, the scientific and local communities rallied to rescue them. Using the knowledge acquired from the last time whales were present in the lake, experts were able to determine the best course of action for getting T51 and T49A2 back where they belong.
But their efforts were not in vain. As the team near the southern channel used the recordings of other whales — two female orcas known to spend time with both T51 and T49A2 — they saw the pair approach the channel. Once both whales were both in, volunteers readied to deploy the hukilau and prepared their oikomi pipes in case further encouragement was necessary.
