There has been a record number of humpback whale calves being born in the Salish Sea, a marginal body of water of the Pacific Ocean, marking a positive news for the impressive mammal’s survival.
In the archipelago of Tonga, it is possible to swim with humpback whales under strict supervision, so humans get to appreciate one of the largest creatures on Earth, and understand the need to protect these majestic ocean giants.
An impressive area in the Pacific Ocean will be under U.S. governmental protection since it has been identified as a critical habitat for endangered humpback whales, a decision hailed by conservation groups as a major victory.
