An exciting visit from an orca delighted onlookers near Victoria's Inner Harbour on Monday.
For Steve Sinclair, it was an experience he’ll never forget and it could be a sign that the harbour is healthier than it has been in a century.
"This was a boom yard for a number of wood-based operations, including a barrel company," said Craig Norris, CEO of the Victoria International Marina.The seabed where the marina is now located was covered in around two to three metres of bark mulch, preventing any life from thriving in the area.That’s when the marina installed four artificial reef balls on the ocean floor, providing habitat for sea creatures.
"We had the blessing of T49A1," said Brett Soberg, co-owner of Eagle Wing Whale Watching Tours."A large adult male in his prime, at 21 years young."He says sightings like this shows efforts to clean up the harbour are working.
