The A-73 project marks the first known attempt to help one of the animals in the wild, and it comes as the local killer whale population is being considered for listing as an endangered species.

The population of the state's three resident pods has dropped from 98 in 1995 to 78 today due to declining salmon runs, pollution and vessel noise and traffic. As Bob Lohn, regional administrator for NMFS, told a news conference May 24 when he announced the decision to proceed: "We don't know what the prospects are, but we think it is worth doing." Researchers believe A-73 was orphaned sometime last year. She apparently wandered into Puget Sound after she was left behind by her family, which never ventures into these waters. Without the support of her pod, this intelli A Darby, Derek G. Davis, Marquis J.

Lindeman, Mariam vate contractor to head the capture team, probably a local man with experience in the multimillion-dollar effort to reunite Keiko with his birth pod off Greenland, Gorman said. That four-year effort has so far been unsuccessful. Keiko, star of the movie "Free Willy," had previously lived in captivity for 21 years. The young female dubbed A-73 for her birth order in her family group, called A-pod is to stay in the pen 10 to 14 days for treatment of a skin ailment, worms and other apparently minor health problems, Gorman said. She'll also undergo a series of tests and effectively be in quarantine to ensure she doesn't take any serious health problems back to her pod.

She will be fed fish in the pen some of them dead to allow medication of the 12-foot orphan. "The other advantage of dead fish is that you know what she's lit'' I When: Friday. Where: Lawlor Events Center. Graduates: 246. Student speakers: Meagan Barnfield and Anthony Kuzmik.

(AP) A protected southern sea otter was found shot to death on a beach, authorities said. An otter researcher discovered the animal on Wednesday and a necropsy determined it had died of a gunshot wound, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Friday. The agency is investigating. The species is federally protected and the killer could face a year in jail and up to 1 0,000 in fines.

Until the 1700s, sea otters were common along the Pacific Ocean coast from Alaska to Mexico. Intensive hunting for their prized pelts sent the otter population tumbling from a nigh of about 300,000. About 2,000 now live off the Central California coast. The animals eat crabs, shellfish and sea urchins, competing at times with commercial divers for the latter.

Once there, she will be kept in an inlet that has been netted off "so she can swim freely and maintain muscle tone and wait for her pod to appear." Her family group spends summers off Vancouver Island. In Canada, she'll be tended by federal officials from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and veterinary personnel from the Vancouver Aquarium. U.S.

officials have been mulling intervention since A-73 was spotted in mid-January. They weighed the risks of capture against her long-term prospects in busy Puget Sound. For years, killer whales were shot by area fishermen. Then, in the 1960s and '70s, dozens were captured for display in aquariums around Killer whale: Effort aims to relocate the young female to her native waters. By Peggy Andersen ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE Five months after a young female killer whale was spotted near the Vashon Island ferry dock, the federal government says it will try to capture her next week for eventual relocation to her native waters in Canada.

The young orca will be captured and immobilized in a net or by securing her tail and then placed on a barge for a quick trip to a net pen at Manchester on the Kitsap Peninsula, said spokesman Brian Gorman with the National Marine Fisheries Service. The government is hiring a pri.
