Whales Travel in 50,000-Strong Migration
The eastern coast of Australia has experienced a significant resurgence in humpback whale populations, with an estimated 50,000 whales migrating annually along the region. This increase came after the ban on whale hunting in 1978, which allowed their numbers to gradually recover and their return to natural breeding and feeding grounds. The whales migrate between northern breeding areas and southern feeding zones, and this recovery serves as an indication of successful conservation efforts after decades of decline due to commercial hunting.
