On the next Your Call, we'll talk about the struggles whales are facing on the Pacific coast. At least five dead whales have been sighted or have washed ashore on Northern California beaches since late July. Researchers say abundant swarms of krill and an increase in ship strikes are to blame. What can we do to reduce ship collisions and prevent more deaths? Join us live at 11 or send us an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. How do we raise public consciousness about the threats to these remarkable mammals? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
