Changing Seas
2009 / TV-GSeasons & Episode
The humpback whale population that migrates between Hawaii and Alaska is considered a conservation success story. When sightings of the animals suddenly dropped, people became concerned. Scientists in both locations are trying to understand what happened to the whales and why.
How does the body size and overall health of humpback whales change across their migratory cycle? A team of researchers studying the animals, which spend part of the year feeding in Alaska and a few months fasting while in their Hawaiian breeding grounds, is making remarkable discoveries.
Kelp forests have played an essential role in the Puget Sound ecosystem for thousands of years. Today, kelp is in decline. Experts work against time to conserve and restore them.
Florida's iconic sea cows are dying in record numbers. Years of declining seagrass beds have eliminated one of the gentle giants' primary food sources. Now wildlife managers have taken the unprecedented step of feeding the animals, while scientists are in a race against time to restore the lost seagrass.
