Why Do People Love Humpback Whales?
Is it the song of the humpback whales, a complex composition of moans, cries, and howls that can last for hours? These magnificent creatures are truly the maestros of the deep. From the North Atlantic Ocean to the Southern Ocean, their serenades echo, each song as unique as the whale itself, forming an integral part of marine biology and marine science. How popular is music? We all love it. What is more natural and calming than the moving perfected notes of these intelligent cetaceans.
Cetaceans: The Marine Mammals
Humpback whales belong to the group of marine animals known as Cetaceans, which includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. This group represents some of the most intelligent and intriguing creatures in the Marine Wildlife fraternity, providing continual fascination and wonder. Driving the question and need to know why? Or how smart are they really? Illusive behaviours and patterns to understand the deep curiosity may just be the reason people connect with these soul clinching whales.
Threats to Humpback Whales
Maybe theres a desire to help to care, these majestic creatures face numerous hazards in modern oceans that threaten their peaceful existence. Overfishing, polluting oceans with toxic wastes, and plastic pollution are major dangers. The byproducts of human society have led to an increase in ocean plastics, causing harm to these giants. Micro plastics in the ocean are ingested by sea creatures, leading to injury, illness, and often, death. Whilst it is easy to live blindly specially when you're land locked, like most of us live the moment you lay your eyes on the ocean or a whale. Theres this feeling you can not explain, it just is there. An unimaginable connection often shrouded in sadness and guilt. My time working as a deckhand in the Whitsundays lead me to countless sightings of mothers and calves. While breath taking as they were, I could not help feel the urge to apologise to them on our behalf.
The Role of Ocean Conservation
This realisation has prompted a surge of activity in the fields of Ocean conservation and Marine conservation. Numerous ocean cleaning projects are now being undertaken by a variety of ocean cleanup foundations, investing and working tirelessly to create healthier oceans for both humpbacks and mankind. From beach clean-ups to deploying ocean plastic collectors, these projects aim to cleanse our waters.
Climate Change and The Oceans' Giants
Humpbacks, like many marine animals, are also impacted by global warming and consequent ocean acidification. Changes in sea temperature can affect whale migration patterns and disrupt their food chain, with young, elderly, and sick whales particularly at risk. Climate change adds this additional stress to an already beleaguered population.
