But 10 grey whales have been found dead
||| FROM THE COOL DOWN |||
Researchers say the Salish Sea, the waterway between Vancouver Island and the mainland, is seeing an unusual concentration of whale activity, helped by plentiful food supplies and years of conservation work.
However, as of mid-June, 10 grey whales were found dead along the coast, raising some concerns.
Whales are key indicators of ocean health. When they suffer, it can signal food-web disruptions, warming waters, or other environmental stresses that can ultimately affect people as well.
