Was privileged to see a competition pod of humpback whales yesterday. They were super aggressive and we saw one ride on top of another consistently for about 20 minutes. Amazing. Hope they're all okay.

Our Oceans Legal Director and member of this new team shared, "These #whales migrate hundreds of miles. The agency has been authorizing the fishery without any measures to ward off entanglements for too long. I look forward to working with other team members to develop protections for #humpbacks.”

For millennia, some of the world’s largest filter-feeding whales, including #humpbacks, fin #whales and blue whales, have undertaken some of the longest migrations on earth to travel between their warm breeding grounds in the tropics to nutrient-rich feeding destinations in the poles each year.

Humpback numbers reached 50000 in 2024! Some good news from Dr Wally Franklin, marine scientist. #humpbacks
“What was once a marine highway connecting southern breeding grounds to northern feeding areas has, since 2010, become a regular foraging destination, putting #humpbacks on a collision course with maritime traffic.”

Once nearly wiped out by whaling, humpbacks are making a remarkable return to the Salish Sea. From “Big Mama” to new calves and songs that echo like human language, Salish Sea Sings Again celebrates resilience, recovery, and the whales’ vital role in our climate.

Old whaling accounts mention the sea boiling and bubbling with #whale breath. It is amazing that this isn't just stuck in the history books anymore. 🐳

#Humpbacks grow to 60 feet long or the height of a 6 story building and can weigh 80,000 lbs or weight of fully loaded semi truck.

When a massive black fin pops up, you'd be forgiven for thinking you might have an orca, but it's a couple of #humpbacks rolling round sideways 🐋🐳.

An amazing day of #WhaleWatching - around 100 #humpbacks came right along the shore at #CheynesBeach on their migration north.They are so utterly awesome. #whales #MammalWatching #WildOz #WesternAustralia
A black-and-white photo of people walking along a foggy, pebbled beach. Figures fade into the dense mist as they move further down the shoreline, creating a quiet, atmospheric scene. Taken on St. Vincent’s Beach on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland, famed for its humpbacks who visit the shore to eat capelin in the early summer. Through the fog sounds their slow steady blows punctuated by relentless rolling waves.

I go every year as they are literally on our doorstep...over the past 30yrs the numbers have increased to the point where you are guaranteed to see them on every trip, but it's always a thrill 🐋 😊
