Rumours are circulating that the animal, believed to have attacked dogs, has been shot and killed

Here's possibly why a variety of marine animals have recently been spotted in Burrard Inlet near Port Moody.

Fisheries officers were en route to help corral the 500-pound creature, and the road will be reopened once Emerson is safe, police said.

Before the fish started dying, the region was in a period of drought. Then, immediately after significant rainfall, the smolts turned up dead. All the evidence pointed to a chemical found in tire rubber.

Search for Slhawt’/Herring project monitors herring spawn each year in Howe Sound.

The young orca's bid for freedom occurred at a high tide early Friday and involved swimming through a swift-moving, narrow channel and underneath a bridge, with Esperanza Inlet in the near distance.

A small group of orcas visiting Burrard Inlet was captured on video by Port Moody dragon boaters.

The decision clears a major procedural hurdle, and gets the B.C. groups one step closer to challenging the Marine Stewardship Council to suspend Alaskan salmon as 'sustainable.'
