James Brady+FollowWhale Comeback Hits a Scary SnagSouthern right whales in Australia were making a major comeback after whaling nearly wiped them out, but now their numbers are dropping again—and it’s not looking good. Researchers tracked almost 50 years of whale sightings and found birth rates are stalling, possibly because of climate change and human impact. These gentle giants are crucial for healthy oceans (and even the air we breathe!). Conservation efforts are ramping up, but it’s a wake-up call for all of us to do our part. #Science #SaveTheWhales #ClimateChange41Share
megangibson+FollowWhale Migrations Are Getting Risky 🐋Did you know humpback whales are basically dodging an obstacle course now? Their ancient migration routes are getting tangled with shipping lanes, fishing gear, and shark nets—making their journey way more dangerous (and sometimes even fatal). New maps show just how bad it’s gotten, but there’s hope: these tools could help reroute ships and set up safe zones. Healthy whales = healthy oceans = a win for everyone. Would you support rerouting ships to save the whales? #SaveTheWhales #OceanConservation #WildlifeProtection #Science80Share
James Brady+FollowWhale Baby Bust: What’s Going On?North Atlantic right whales had a rough year—only 11 new calves were born, way below the 50 needed to help the species bounce back. With just 370 of these gentle giants left (and only about 70 moms), scientists are seriously worried. The whales are struggling with fishing gear, ship strikes, and even finding food. But there’s a tiny silver lining: four first-time whale moms! Still, these whales need way more help if they’re going to stick around. #SaveTheWhales #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #OceanLife #Science380Share
Michael Flores+FollowGray Whales Are in Serious TroubleDid you know gray whales are struggling big time right now? Scientists are seeing record-low calf numbers and way too many skinny adults. Melting Arctic sea ice is messing up their food supply, and it's causing mass die-offs. These whales aren’t just cute—they’re crucial for the ocean’s health and even help capture carbon! Saving them means fighting climate change and protecting our planet. Small changes like reducing waste and using clean energy can actually make a difference. Wild, right? #ClimateCrisis #SaveTheWhales #OceanConservation #WildlifeProtection #Science21Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowHeartbreaking Whale News in SF BaySad news from San Francisco Bay: A rare juvenile minke whale was put down after repeated strandings and poor health left experts with no options for its survival. This comes amidst multiple whale deaths in the area. Let's hope for better days for these majestic creatures. 🌊💔 #SaveTheWhales #MarineLife #WildlifeConservation #Science80Share
