NEW YORK TIMES - 23 RECENT EAST COAST WHALE DEATHS
These whales have washed ashore in recent weeks. North Atlantic Right Whale - critically endangered. Minke whale. Humpback whale. Could it be that we just have to order things on line that are exported by other countries, rather than buying American made products and produce grown in the U.S. so that more ships are coming in and colliding with whales.
Well, my priority is not to buy anything from another country without an exhaustive search for MADE IN THE U.S.A. because most of the things you see for sale we really do not need.
Also windfarms offshore may be a problem for sea life.
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR
Excerpt: The population of humpbacks, hunted legally until 1985, has rebounded, thanks in part to decades of efforts to clean the Atlantic Ocean and heavily polluted tributaries like the Hudson River. As the climate changes and oceans warm, whales and favored prey, menhaden, are migrating and feeding in new locations, often closer to shore.
