@jeanoappleseed @marq @fedops The pods are now being tagged and information on their whereabouts is being communicated through. Boat owners are also increasingly collaborating to report attacks and their locations in real time, and there are apps that show it. It’s getting easier to just not be where they are.

Hopefully as we get better at avoiding them, they will start to forget about their stupid little rudder game.

If not, then I suspect things are going to get messy. The attacks in the strait are happening close to shore (how can they not? It’s narrow). The ones in Biscay in the winter and autumn are much further out, and there’s not so much oversight of what goes on out there. In previous years, it’s been suggested that some of the encounters in Biscay have ended very badly for the orcas, although details are scarce because nobody wants to get in trouble.
