The humpbacks are back: A welcome return to UK waters, or a more tragic tale?
Humpback whale sightings have rocketed here in the UK in recent months with locals rejoicing at the welcome return of a much-loved marine visitor. But, is this a sign of a recovering whale population? Or a sinister tale of a warming ocean and a subsequent shifting feeding pattern?
Join Oceanographic Magazine and Finisterre as we explore why the humpbacks really are back here in UK waters and the steps we can be taking now to protect these magnificent creatures.
