The captivating feeding behavior of humpback whales off Vancouver Island’s northern coast has earned them a spot in the renowned Planet Earth III documentary series. Researchers from the Marine Education and Research Society have documented a unique trap feeding technique used by the whales, highlighting their importance in the ecosystem and their role in combating climate change. Despite a significant population decline between 2012-2022 linked to the marine heatwave known as ‘the blob,’ humpback whales have made a remarkable comeback after near extinction due to hunting.
