Grey Whales and Sea Ice – It’s Complicated

Nice video above gives an incomplete snapshot of an evolving understanding of migrating grey whales on the West Coast of North America.

The video describes a complicated relationship between whale populations and decreasing Arctic sea ice.

It reminded my of my interview with the late Ice expert David Barber, who I caught up with in Lund, Sweden in 2016. Dr. Barber described the complex ways that food webs are influenced by the condition of sea ice.
