The Humpback Whales in San Francisco

The crown of humpback whales visiting San Francisco. I think this is because of  climate change.We have drought and rain and no rain kind of weather. So this is unusual for animals and Humpback Whales are migrating to San Francisco.

The word migration ,” the physical movement by animals from one area to another “.

“I had never seen humpback whales before, and it was awesome,” said Laurie Duke, 54, who volunteers at the Marine Mammal Center and Golden Gate Cetacean Research. ”

“The deeper they get into the bay, the more acoustically confusing it becomes,” Schramm said.Mary Jane Schramm, a spokeswoman for the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.

Whale Alert is a non-profit institutions, government agencies, shipping and technology companies focused on reducing lethal ship strikes of whales.
