It should perhaps be no surprise that intelligent creatures like Orca may suddenly decide they've had enough and aren't going to take it anymore... That could be due to volume of boat traffic, overfishing and putting their food security at risk, pollution we create, the amount of audio noise that we produce underwater, physically endangering or injuring their young or adults... any number of things. They're clearly communicating something of great importance to them. đ

The newest findings is,that some Orcas where shot at by fishermen in competition for food/fish. Orcas do not forget and identified boats as enemies. Heared this just two weeks ago from marine biologists at Horta Azoren Islands.

This subpopulation of orcas is critically endangered. Their numbers are even lower than those of the Southern Residents. There was a great article written in the Guardian. A marine biologist who has observed them for years was shocked at this behavior. Her direct quote is - âFor killer whales to take out a piece of a fiberglass rudder is crazy. Iâve seen these orcas grow from babies, I know their life stories.â An ecologist and oceanologist called The Gibraltar Strait âthe worst place for orcas to live.â The orcas and fishermen have been 'at war' for years. Due to the shortage of prey, the orcas have been stealing tuna from the fishing lines. That, in turn, has angered the fishermen. The orcas are protected. That, however, isn't preventing the fishermen from protecting their catch by any means necessary. They stun the orcas with electric prods, hit them with lit petrol cans, and cut their dorsal fins.

Orcas have culture and learned behavior that varies from pod to pod. Usually, these behaviors center around food and hunting. I would speculate that the reason for the attacks is because they've learned that some boats give them food after they bump the boat.

I was rammed by an orca while sailing about 200 nautical miles south of the Irish coast in 1994. It was part of a pod of about 12 orcas that circled the boat before one broke off and struck the hull just below the waterline. I started the motor and quickly put distance between me and them. When I looked back, one of them had come vertically out of the water as if to see where I had gone. I believe this action is called "spy hopping"

One of the potential theories that I suggest might be happening is that Orcas are also beginning to realize that human beings give Safe Harbor to penguins and seals that are being chased by a pod. When a boat allows the penguin, seal or anything else onto the boat for safety, that message gets passed on from pod to pod and generation to generation. And eventually the Orcas begin realizing that humans and boats are interfering with their way of living. Their existence. Just a thought.

I've been following reports of Orca encounters since the 1980's, and there's something different about these reports in recent years. In the past, almost all seemed to be about Orcas knocking off the paddles of Boat speed impellers, wh8ch to me equated with the noise in the water produced by spinners when fishing, which attract predator fish, and the speed paddle through Hull transducer having the same effect, which led me to think that Something Big and Nasty was likely in the area, willing to attack something the size of a yacht, thinking it was food ? I saw the body of a very large Whale from my yacht, just south of Rhode Island, the Local Coastguard was warning to watch out for, that was on my Course, and the Orcas knocking off those speed impellers, would silence those boats likely to remove the threat ? Must admit, my next boat won't have a through Hull speed impeller, I'll have a Transom Mount one that can be tilted up clear of the Water, Plus will Carry some Brightly Coloured Beach Balls and if an Orca Pod is close tonthe Boat, will throw them a Ball for them to play with, and cross my fingers. They do love playing a kind of Water Polo, but use Seals as Balls to throw around. đ€

Sick of the noise, pollution & destruction of their environment...

Something has triggered them. Remember, these animals are extremely highly intelligent animals. They do remember, they do pass down their knowledge from one generation to another. The harpooning statement from Spanish and Portuguese fishermen I have heard of before. It's not completely shocking they are acting like this towards boats.
271 |
My theory is that they hear the cries of the captive orcas in Tenerife, which are held right on the coast in Loro Parque, within earshot of wild orcas.

A small fishing boat was attacked as well on the northern coast of Morocco, which is only few kilometers away from the coasts of Spain. I find it very weird since I think Orcas never attack humans for no obvious reason as far as I know.

I've kayaked the inside passage in Alaska and British Columbia from Seattle, WA, AK to Skagway, AK twice. During those trips, I had Orcas pass by me several times and they seemed to keep their distance, but it was still an exciting experience. Same goes for the several Humpback whale encounters I had. I never paddled toward any of the animals I saw, but rather they came over to check me out. When I circumnavigated singlehanded via sailboat, I chose a 33' steel boat mostly as a precaution against collision with debris or a ship and not necessarily for protection against whales and other marine life. There is no doubt that a whale collision can stove in a fiberglass hull and it has happened.

Nature fights back in many ways.

Did anyone notice the scoring running laterally across the one whales back? When we see this in Florida across the backs of manatees, it is typically an indication that the animal has had an unfriendly encounter with a boat rotor.

Thanks for covering this topic DW.

The ocean finally had enough of us !

More questions than answers. It seems to be a revenge attack.
They seem to have the memory of one of them being hurt and now they see a sailboat as a potential attacker.

When sailing in those waters you are 100% stepping into their territory so they are curious as to what that big floating thing is. Also to them it looks like a big dark shadow because of how the light makes things appear if your under water looking up.

This was a great piece on what's the opinion is from the sailers perspective. Yet, from my recent interview with Mónica Gonzålez with Orca Ibérica GTOA sailers are not sending them the interaction data & departments across borders are not communicating with one another effectively. Meanwhile, the Spanish government is putting one policy in place telling sailers to run while Portugal is saying it should be another by turning off all equipment. Everyone is just frustrated & there will be no solutions if everyone is not working in conjunction with eachother. My chat with Mónica will be released soon on the Orca Group Series hosted by YouTube.

I live on this coast, in a small town called Barbate, a few miles/kilometers east of Conil, & this is no doubt caused by the Orcas having had a free lunch for the last few years due to the illegal butchering & sale of Tuna meat onboard some of the boats catching Tuna. Not all Tuna boats are involved in this, but it is a growing issue, The cleaned carcasses are then thrown overboard, & these carcasses are huge, up to 2 meters long, they have been professionally filleted. I have been walking these beaches for 20 years, have come across these carcasses from Trafalgar to Atlantera, & it is ONLY within the last 3 to 4 years that I have seen this. It does not matter which beach you walk on, during the Almadraba (the official catching of Tuna) & where by law ALL I repeat ALL Tuna should be brought to shore, tested for metals & then sold, these cleaned carcasses are being washed up. I have reported this & it fell on deaf ears. The Orca have learned there is a free lunch lurking in the waves, then when fisherman or harpooner slips a dead fish onto the end of a hook, the Orca is going to think it is dinner time.
