Only two days left of Minke May! Earlier this week we mentioned "minke mittens", the white band across their pectoral flippers. This photo from Island Adventures Whale Watching gives us a rare glimpse of them above the surface.

Countless animals are killed by consuming the fallen remains of helium balloons and birds and other animals can also be entangled in any attached string.

There are other things going on, but -
No flights since 25 Jan have checked on whether this aggregation of #rightwhales is still there (see whalemap.org). And there's been no reporting on whether the begging by Maine officials led to any changes / reductions in fishing effort
Did it?

Another impact of melting icebergs: Perils for our penguin friends. 🐧 Scripps Oceanography marine ecologist Maria Vernet spoke with National Geographic on how when massive melting icebergs like #A23a drift through the ocean, they can affect penguin populations. ⬇️
The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with vital penguin sanctuary
This megaberg is the size of Rhode Island and weighs a trillion tons. It could ground to a halt near South Georgia, a critical wildlife haven.
