Scientists tracked a young #whale's journey before he vanished. What they learned could help save his species.
#Bishop’s story, from birth to presumed death, shows the extreme danger facing right #whales, which could be extinct in 3 decades if they continue to disappear at the present rate. Bishop’s species is not doomed to #extinction …but time is running out.
For much of his migration, #Bishop swam through waters where the lack of #SpeedLimits makes #vessel strikes more likely.
In 2022, the #Biden admin proposed expanding that area & applying speed limits to smaller #vessels….
The proposed expanded boundaries have been embraced by scientists & advocates, who say it could help save #NorthAtlantic#RightWhales from #extinction. But NOAA Fisheries, the agency behind the proposal, has yet to finalize the rule, which is still being reviewed by the WH.
The delay has frustrated #whale advocates, who say more urgency is required. “As we watch this species go extinct one by one, the solution sits idle in the hands of the administration,” said Kathleen Collins, a snr marine campaign manager at the Intl Fund for #AnimalWelfare.
As a 1-yr-old, #Bishop managed to weave through #vessel-filled waters unscathed. Other #RightWhales aren’t as lucky.
So far this year, a dead female turned up off Virginia w/ a dislocated spine, a calf was discovered in Georgia w/head lacerations, & a young female was found — again in Georgia — w/ a fractured skull. All the injuries are consistent with #vessel strikes.
There comes a point when we can eat no more because our bodies simply must have time to digest what we have taken in.
So it is with knowledge, or what passes for knowledge, or facts, or "news," -- there comes a point when we must stop ingesting and take time to review and ponder over, analyze and question, think upon and contemplate what we have taken in.
They all had something to do, and each valued the contributions of the others.
And because they were friends, they listened as much as they spoke, and even if they disagreed on issues, it didn't stop them from working together toward the common goal of moving that boat forward and enjoying the day.
There's absolutely zero stress or hurry, both for the sailors on their crafts and for the person watching them (that would be you) from the rocky beach.
In the background, historic Polignano a Mare, Italy, invites you to visit when you are done strolling along the rocks, looking out to sea, and just . . . being.
It's a hidden, secret enclave a couple kilometers from Polignano a Mare on the eastern coast of Italy, although to the locals, it's not so secret.
A prime spot for swimming and boating, the Cala Port'Alga Cove is the perfect location to spend a sunny afternoon in. Bring some water and a lunch, and you're all set.

The world’s first #hydrogen powered #autonomous rapid transit (ART) smart #tram is expected to arrive at Senari Port in #Kuching tomorrow (Saturday) from China.
This was confirmed by several sources close to the project, following a post making its rounds on social media.
It is understood that the #vessel carrying the prototype is already in #Sarawak waters, but it will only enter the #port tomorrow.
