A Whale of a Time


A Whale of a Time One piece of good news is that whales have made a comeback. According to Science magazine roughly 3400 Humpback whales can be counted around Hawaii now, as opposed to only 1400 ten years ago. The number of Bowheads off Point Barrow, Alaska, has risen from 1500 in 1976 to 7500. There are so many Grey whales off the coast of California that they may be declared no longer endangered.

The global population of Minke whales, about 900,000, is enough to make the International Whaling Commission consider revoking the whaling ban on that species. The likely cause of this resurgence is the international moratorium on whaling - let's hope that continued wisdom will see this mighty species regain the oceans as they once did.
