Summer Diet of Humpback Whales in the Northern Strait of Georgia, British Columbia (Canada), Revealed by Stable Isotope Analysis
North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) have recovered rapidly following their depletion by commercial whaling. Diet studies are necessary to assess food web implications of their reco...

Wildfires pollute waterways and could affect their ability to store carbon, say @ubcoceans.bsky.social researchers. Fire severity and frequency is increasing in B.C., which could lead to worsening water quality for the whole ecosystem.
