Rare gray whale, extinct in the Atlantic for 200 years, spotted near Nantucket: A gray whale extinct from the Atlantic for more than 200 years was spotted off ...
nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rare-gray-whale-extinct-atlantic-200-years-spotted-nantucket-rcna142006
Quick Glance: Climate Change Lures Pacific Whale to New England
- Scientists confirm the appearance of a whale off New England that went extinct in the Atlantic Ocean two centuries ago, highlighting the impact of climate change on sea life.
- The gray whale, usually found in the northern Pacific, was spotted by researchers from the New England Aquarium in Boston 30 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. This whale, weighing up to 60,000 pounds (27,215 kilograms), disappeared from the Atlantic in the 18th century.
- Nearly hunted to extinction during the era of commercial whaling, gray whales have now recovered to be considered a species of 'least concern' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
- The presence of the gray whale off New England is likely linked to the warming of the planet. The Northwest Passage, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic in Canada, has been ice-free in recent summers, allowing gray whales to pass through when they would have been blocked.
