We teamed up with artist @SarahCAndersen to spread awareness about how we can keep #MarineMammals safe 🌊 Distance is best for humans, pets and wildlife alike, especially since many come to shore to rest or care for their young 🔁 RT to help spread the word and follow for more!

Every year, gray whales make one of the longest migrations on Earth. ~12,000 miles from Alaska to Mexico, and back. ❄️➡️☀️➡️❄️

The whales feast all summer long in the Arctic to prepare for this epic journey. But now there's a problem. Climate change is melting the sea ice that supports their food supply. 🧊🦀

Hungry and tired, gray whales have started taking detours into the San Francisco Bay – putting them at great risk of ship strikes. 🚢🌉

We’ve installed thermal cameras that can detect whales and alert nearby ships to slow down or change course. By turning real-time detection into protection, we’re helping make the Bay a safer place for whales. 🐋🌎
