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

congress is voting to strip the endangered species act tomorrow, on earth day. call your reps RIGHT NOW to shut it down.

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.

[ᴄʜʀɪs 🐳 @chrisstIawrence]

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

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.
