The world's great whales. Scientists have finally mapped what they call 'whale superhighways.' Oceanic migratory routes that are essential to whale survival, and corridors of major human disruption. Hear more from OnPointRadio:
Transcript: How Human Disruption Impacts Whales
MICHAEL J. MOORE: We were able to follow the whale with the drone, just watching it underwater, swimming around and underneath the boat. So we got some really nice photographs. And some of them, some of the boat in the same picture and some not. ... It's a small whale, maybe 30 feet long. A year, or maybe two years old. And I'm taking a closer look now at its callosities and all the whale lice on it. And its head sticking out of the water at a fairly sharp angle.
CHAKRABARTI: Moore remembers one whale in particular ... who was entangled. After sedating her, Moore and other scientists were able to remove some of the rope, but it wasn't enough. She eventually died. MOORE: It's a conversation that has in some ways shifted from science to economics, culture, politics and what we really care about. Do you want your seafood affordable and obviously the survival of the industries and the human costs of what this means to the families involved in that industry, versus the long-term survival of the biodiversity of our oceans and what these animals mean in terms of ocean health? What do we care about? This is ultimately a hard question to answer.
Some folks have described this as a seventh wonder of the world, and it's quite extraordinary, really, that we have these animals within five miles of fairly major housing and people and railroad tracks and highways. Here, we've got something that's been here for hundreds of thousands of years, just quietly doing its thing.
