Whales make some of the longest migrations on Earth, traveling thousands of miles round-trip annually. They follow routes that connect critical feeding and breeding habitats across the globe, linking distant ecosystems into a single living ocean.
Amanda Hunter, marine biologist and polar expedition guide, considers whale migration and ocean conservation and examines the growing threats whales face—from climate-driven shifts in food availability to ship traffic and ocean pollution. Hunter also highlights conservation solutions that are making a difference. Uncover the surprising ways whales help regulate ocean health and climate, acting as powerful drivers of nutrient cycling, carbon storage, and marine productivity and reminding us why protecting these giants is essential for the future of our planet.
