Our first whale watching trip of 2023! We had amazing conditions out on the water, and observed a pod of 3 very curious and cheeky whales! They kept us guessing with their unexpected surfacing behaviours and one whale had a large but healed chunk missing from its fluke! We'll be uploading this photo to Happywhale and maybe it will be identified! Looking forward to more of this😍🐋😍

Today is World Wildlife Day 2022! Humpback whales are important in maintaining a healthy ocean, for example, by helping to store carbon. This species was nearly hunted to extinction in the 1900s, however a ban on commercial whaling has since allowed the humpback whale to recover with populations in some areas rising to 93% of pre-hunting numbers. Humpback whales show how we can #RecoverKeySpecies for #WWD2022. Learn more: https://www.wildlifeday.org/
