A total of 396 individual humpbacks were documented in the Salish Sea in 2022, including 34 mothers with their first-year calves.
Call it the humpback comeback.
The HWSS, an ongoing photo identification project, documents humpbacks in waters surrounding Vancouver Island and tallies sightings from researchers, ecotourism captains, naturalists and citizen scientists. “We see the highest number of sightings in the fall, and it is the same whales year after year who we see socializing, feeding, and resting within the waters of the Salish Sea,” added Shaw.
“They often stay in one area and surface in unpredictable patterns. They may also be sleeping or nursing just below the surface,” the society said in a release.
