Humpback Whales in Glacier Bay National Monument, Alaska

"Humpback Whales in Glacier Bay National Monument, Alaska" by the Marine Mammal Commission, reveals a concerning trend spotted in the late 1970s: the dwindling numbers of humpback whales in their summer feeding grounds. This report outlines observations and data suggesting that the increasing presence of humans, specifically vessel traffic, is disrupting the whales' natural behavior and forcing them away from their habitat. The book discusses ways to protect whales from these disturbances. As a study from the late 20th century, it's a call for conservation, urging further research and stricter regulations on human activities within Glacier Bay, if whales are to be protected.
