Something alarming is happening to gray whales that migrate along the West Coast. Many eastern North Pacific gray whales are dying (again). At least 80 whales have died since the start of the year in Mexico, 3 recently died in San Francisco Bay. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday #GrayWhales

Gray Whale deaths continue in an Unusual Mortality Event (UME). The climate crisis is driving starving gray whales washing up in Washington and Oregon, and those that arrive in San Francisco Bay are hit in vessel strikes. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday #GrayWhales #UME

Did you know that #graywhales are getting smaller? 😮
Recent studies show a noticeable decrease in the average size of these majestic giants. Factors like climate change, food scarcity, and human activity are taking a toll on these incredible creatures.

Skinny whales, fewer calves, and now deaths; these are warning signs that something just isn’t right - likely an ever-warming environment that may not support the food that gray whales eat. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday #Pacific #GrayWhales

#graywhales are having a tough time this year. We are already seeing an alarming number of them on San Francisco Bay including at least 3 recent deaths along our shores.
Let's be extra vigilant when boating out on the bay. If you see a blow, go slow and prepare to alter course. bit.ly/3FuPSNa

Without keystone predators like sea otters & sunflowers stars, sea urchins can destroy kelp forests. New study suggests this reduces zoplankton that live in kelp, an important food for gray whales.

The numbers of gray whales migrating along the California coast continue to plummet
Federal officials are reporting the lowest numbers of gray whales counted since the 1970s. More than 20 have died in S.F. Bay this year.

Why Oregon gray whales do headstands to find food
They're doing headstands and "bubble bursts" to help them find food.

Here is a #cool #animal. This #whale #lice, Cyamus scammoni, a crustacean of family Cyamidae, is an #ectoparasite of #graywhales, but primarily eats algae or shedding skin from the whale's body. This is a male, which can be up to 27 mm long. The rotini-shaped structures are #gills for respiration.
