During the Spanish-American War, the US Army demolished the old lighthouse to build a fort (Fort Casey). The present lighthouse went into service in 1903 but was discontinued in 1927.

    The Whale Warning Flag Introducing a Social Prompt to Improve Boater Behavior Around the Endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales

    The Whale Warning Flag Introducing a social prompt to improve boater behavior around the endangered Southern Resident killer whales. Environmental Resources Division San Juan County Whale Warning Flag: Introducing a social prompt to improve boater behavior around the endangered Southern Resident killer whales. Interim Report for the Marine Mammal Commission May 15, 2019 Authors Frances C. Robertson, PhD Environmental Resources Division, San Juan County Deborah Giles, PhD Wild Orca Kendra Smith Environmental Resources Division, San Juan County 1 Summary Species around the world are at risk as a result of human behaviors. The critically endangered Southern Resident killer whale presents an ideal case study with which to introduce and test innovative social marketing methods to address impacts from human behaviors that continue to limit the populations’ ability to recover. An icon of the Pacific Northwest, the population garnered global attention in 2018 as the world watched a whale carry her dead calf over 1000 miles in apparent mourning. The San Juan Islands are the epicenter of the whales’ summer core critical habitat, thus the island-based community has grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of these whales and the role that humans play in ensuring their survival. Lack of prey, heavy contaminate loads and disturbance from vessel noise and presence have been identified as the three core threats to the survival of the population. While decreasing prey availability and contaminants both entail complex webs of international, tribal, federal and state management issues reaching back more than a century, the human impacts related to vessel disturbance can be more readily addressed at a local level.
