There must be a lot of food in the ocean this year. We went out about 1 1/2 weeks ago and found a feeding ground with about 1000 dolphins and 10-15 humpbacks in it. They were all around the boat.
Off the Ventura coast.
Sadly, no. There are historic levels of fisheries failures. We are seeing more activity because whales etc. have not found food in their customary hunting grounds and are congregating where there’s still food..until it’s depleted.
Unusual amounts of emaciated (no food?) grey whales washing up on beaches, salmon fisheries crashes, reports of seal reproduction dives ...not good.
