Adopt L-54 Ino

Proceeds from orca adoptions support ongoing education, research and public outreach on behalf of the Southern Resident Community of killer whales.

Ino was the last of her family lineage, until she had her first calf Indigo L-100 in 2001. Sadly Indigo passed away in 2014. In the spring of 2006, Ino gave birth to her second calf Coho (L-108). In December 2010 she had her third offspring Keta (L-117).

Her name was the winning entry in a naming contest in 1983, part of a campaign to prevent the capture of orcas for public display. Partly as a result of this effort, all orcas are protected from further capture in both the U.S. and Canada.
