Scientists believe that whale populations are on the rise! For years, scientists have been concerned about the decline of whale populations. However, a recent study has shown that whale populations are on the rise! The study, which was conducted by the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), found that there are more whales living in the world's oceans today than there were ten years ago. In fact, the WDC estimates that there are now about 30,000 whales swimming in our oceans! This is great news for whale populations, and it shows that we are making progress in our efforts to protect these animals. However, we still have a lot of work to do if we want to ensure the future sustainability of these populations. One of the reasons for this increase in whale populations is improved ocean health. Thanks to better regulations and better management of fisheries, many of the world's oceans are becoming healthier. This is good news for whales, since they rely on healthy oceans for
'Whale' sighted off California coast A pod of gray whales was spotted off the coast of California on Saturday, Jan. 7. The "whales" were actually a group of marine mammals known as harmless harbor porpoises.
