Whaling was once a major engine of the global economy. Millions of whales were killed for their blubber until commercial whaling was banned in the 1980s. Since then, some whale populations have rebounded, but from the coast of California to the Antarctic Ocean, climate change is now threatening that progress.
New research reveals how rising ocean temperatures are slowing birth rates and shrinking feeding grounds, pushing some whales closer to shore and into greater risk of entanglements.
Teresa, who reports on oceans for Inside Climate News, describes what’s happening to humpbacks and Southern right whales, the science behind these findings, and what it means for the future of these species.
