gray whales are in a "boom-bust" cycle. (see DOI: 10.1126/science.adi1847) the timing and distribution of sea ice cover changes with varying oceanographic conditions. this may alter the distribution, abundance, and body size of benthic amphipods, the primary prey for gw
I feel like this isn’t talked about enough GRAY WHALES ARE DYING!!! There has been over 53 indivuals wash up from Cali , Oregon, and Washington!!! They are starving! This year has been the deadliest for gray whales outpacing the 2025 150 gray whale deaths.

There are 50 Rice's whales left alive on Earth. They live nowhere else but the Gulf of Mexico. The admin’s own scientists said *last year* oil & gas drilling would drive the species to extinction. Today, Trump's cabinet removed every protection standing between the oil industry and these animals’ deaths.

rice’s whale is a gulf endemic species numbering fewer than 100 individuals deepwater horizon spill caused the species a 22% decline — before it was even fully given species status by scientists in 2021 the “american whale” further imperiled by industrial greed
A panel referred to as the "God Squad," led by Trump's Interior Secretary, has decided that oil and gas companies can now ignore the Endangered Species Act when drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

NEW CALF SPOTTED IN K POD!!! This afternoon, we were viewing K Pod when we spotted a very small & very orange calf amongst the K14s & K12s. We still need to go through our footage, but it appeared that the calf was primarily traveling with K36 Yoda.

The MMPA has been protecting our marine mammals without a single species’ extinction in US waters for over 50 years. Now, it is under threat. 🧵
