Thesis (Ph.D.)--Union Institute and University, 2004.

The research focused specifically on one ecosystem that is declining due to human interactions-the southern resident killer whale population in Puget Sound. There are three main causes for the decline of these whales: loss of food resources, toxic pollution, and boat traffic.

520 $a The research focused specifically on one ecosystem that is declining due to human interactions-the southern resident killer whale population in Puget Sound. There are three main causes for the decline of these whales: loss of food resources, toxic pollution, and boat traffic.
520 $a The researcher theorized that people who were conscious of the plight of these whales would react to their decline by experiencing environmental grief(TM), the grief reaction stemming from the environmental loss of ecosystems caused by natural or man-made events. The research question asked, How do members of the American Cetacean Society react to the decline of the southern resident killer whale population, and are their reactions consistent with environmental grief?
520 $a A historical perspective and literature review were developed to include the Gaia Theory, and the subjects of deep ecology, and the ecology of grief, to establish a foundation for environmental grief.
520 $a The heuristic method of research was used, probing into the lived experiences of eight people. Coresearchers were interviewed and asked to share their reactions and experiences related to the decline of the southern resident killer whale population.
520 $a Themes emerging from interviews with the coresearchers included anger, frustration, depression, sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness---all consistent with reactions of environmental grief. For many, naming their reactions validated the feelings they had experienced for some time. Future studies are warranted to determine if the general public will experience similar views. And if so, will these similar views contribute to a greater awareness and protection of Mother Nature?
520 $a Nature is not a place we visit or that we create around us. Nature is a part of us, yet many people tend to believe that we can build, destroy, and pollute without any effect whatsoever on nature. Humans are a part of the circle of life, and therefore, we have a great responsibility to protect that life-nature. Nature is life; without it we will become extinct. Ecosystems are being destroyed, and while many people are concerned about the destruction, they do not have the power or authority to stop this environmental genocide.
