Travel and Leisure magazine says, “There’s something magical about whales. It may be the fact that one species – the blue whale – is the largest animal on Earth, reaching as much as 100 feet in length and weighing as much as 300,000 pounds. Or maybe it’s that whales are warm blooded, breathe air, and nurse their young - yet manage to live in the ocean, with some species diving over 600 feet to hunt while holding their breath for up to an hour and a half.

It is no news that climate change has become a major societal topic over the past decade. Governments are trying their best to implement regulations to help reverse the impact that human activity is having on our ecosystem. Earlier in May, Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Fisheries and Oceans Minister, has announced recovery measures for the protection and preservation of the endangered southern resident killer whales off British Columbia’s coast. This decision was made as only 75 of them remain near our western coasts, and they are facing serious threats of extinction.
