Northern Right Whale crisis: For years, scientists and advocates have watched this critically endangered species decline due to ship strikes, fishing gear entanglement, and rapid ocean change. This episode asks a crucial question: Does the first population increase in years signal real recovery or just a temporary pause in a long-term crisis, and what must change now to keep that number rising? Whale conservation stories: Oceana campaigner Nora Ives brings clear insights into how monitoring efforts and shifting whale behavior shape our understanding of their future. She explains how storytelling has become a powerful tool for connecting people with an animal most will never see in person. She also shares a moving moment from the field, the unexpected birth of a calf from an older mother, a surprising and emotional reminder that hope can appear when least expected. Oceana advocacy: The episode explores vessel slowdowns, fishing gear solutions, and the policy gaps that still threaten these whales. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of what is working and what is urgently missing from the conservation conversation.
