Humpback whale sightings increase at the Jersey Shore, study says
Fox News
Sightings of humpback whales along the New Jersey shore have increased over the last decade, according to a study from Rutgers University.
Researchers note that more than 58% of the whales spotted between Long Island and the New Jersey coast stayed in the areas for 37 days and were seen at least twice, either in the same year or between years.
"This research is important for the management of these protected species," wrote Danielle Brown, a doctoral candidate at Rutgers. "The more time these whales spend in the New York Bight Apex may mean increased exposure to human activities including busy shipping traffic leading into the Port of New York and New Jersey."
