Whales may be the biggest animals on the planet, but they’re also some of the most vulnerable. Although whaling is no longer the threat it once was, these giants of the sea are forced to contend with offshore drilling, industrial noise, and fast-moving ships traveling through their home waters. In the newest episode of our Sounds Wild podcast, host Vanessa Barchfield talks with Kristen Monsell, litigation director of our Oceans program, about threats to whales and what it’ll take to secure them a future that’s truly safe. [Video description: Audio clip from podcast plays with captions. Video shows a right whale just barely breaking the surface of calm, blue water. The sky above is also clear and blue. The audio clip ends just as the whale raises its tail and disappears below the surface of the water.] #OceanLife #OceanConservation #WildlifeConservation #SaveOurOceans
