Episode Details

Gray whales are dying in alarming numbers this year, with 150 already found stranded from Mexico to Alaska — including a recent one on Kodiak Island. Biologists report poor body condition in the latest victims, and while the exact cause remains unknown, experts point to Arctic food shortages linked to climate change. This follows a previous die-off from 2019 to 2023, and many fear this could be a new catastrophe for the species, with carcasses sinking unseen. Advocates are calling for urgent action on ship strikes, entanglement, and broader environmental threats.
