Summary
Whale sightings along Western Australia’s south coast have plummeted by 60%—a shocking drop far beyond normal seasonal swings. Marine scientists and whale watching operators alike are alarmed, reporting not just fewer whales but unusual behavior in those seen. A leading theory? Avian influenza, which has hit migratory seabirds and seals elsewhere. Experts are calling for urgent investigation, especially of any whale carcasses that wash ashore, to uncover what’s driving this mysterious and troubling decline.
