What’s on the menu for whales in New York Bight?
New science from WCS Ocean Giants team shows humpbacks in nearshore/mid-shelf areas seem to eat wider variety of prey than those much further offshore—valuable info to guide conservation efforts and ecosystem monitoring.

Life is booming in the New York Bight. Our WCS Ocean Giants team saw fin whales, humpbacks, and common dolphins all feeding together.
At the surface, two different pectoral fins emerged, a side-lunging fin whale and a fin-slapping humpback. A feeding frenzy on a fave prey type. 🌎
