Natives want increased funding to monitor Luna
The Mowachaht/Muchalaht band of British Columbia, Canada, wants $176,000 to beef up their monitoring of Luna (L-98), the orphaned orca. Because they were paid $10,000 last year to keep Luna away from boats, and because they thwarted attempts last year to capture and reunite him with L Pod, the request is controversial.
