RT @90NFoundation: Great, insightful piece about our fantastic Arctic whales.

The #Arctic whales – beluga, narwhal and bowhead – have evolved to take advantage of sea ice and thrive in the Arctic’s frigid waters 🧊

To study bowhead #whales, researchers listen and learn how their behaviours change over time πŸ‹

Since 2015, Mary River Mine in #Canada has sparked controversy due to its harmful impacts on the environment & wildlife.

Whales are migratory animals and rely on seasonal habitats & the connecting blue corridors needed to get there πŸ‹

There are ways to better protect #whales from ship strikes, such as ship speed reductions & vessel rerouting πŸ”—:

RT @TW_FieldNotes: πŸ‹ So very exciting! The @WWF_Arctic released interactive maps of #ArcticBlueCorridor - migration superhighway of Arctic #whales -today!
πŸ—Ί Explore where they migrate & see how #climatechange and #shipping impact them.

Happy to be part of this effort!

For the first time, our new interactive report explores #Arctic whales’ migratory behaviour across the entire #ArcticOcean, including:
πŸ‹ Where blue corridors are located
πŸ“… When the corridors are in use
🚒 And overlaps with ship traffic

Explore more πŸ”—:

The #Arctic is home to #whales found nowhere else:
πŸ¦„ Narwhal

Blue corridors connect these whales to important habitats. But less #SeaIce means more human activity in these habitats 🚒

We came across this pod of pilot whales on our expedition to Spain back in 2011. During that two-month trip, we sighted familiar animals, like this one, but also explored seamounts and canyons, uncovering rarely seen deep-sea species! πŸͺΈ https://t.co/TMDcPqdA36

For #whales, ships bring risks of:
🚒 Fatal collisions
πŸ”Š #UnderwaterNoise that can hamper their ability to find food, avoid predators and navigate, among other things.
