yes because rubbish is been thrown is the ocean where the humpback whale lives.
Since 1966, humpback whales have been labeled and protected as endangered. There are certain associations, groups, and fisherman, who are trying to get the government to release the humpback whales from the endangered list. Today, the humpback whale is listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN. Not an endangered species.
The Oceans Humpback Whales have been seen in are: The Antarctic, The Pacific, The Atlantic, & The Indian. The Seas: Mediterranean Sea, The Black sea, The Arctic Sea.

The humpback whale is a beautiful creature. Because of its enormous size, there are very few predators that prey on this whale. One predator would be humans. I hope people don't hunt this magnificent beast but in some parts of the world, I'm sure whale meat is a delicacy. Now I'm not sure about this one but, I do know that giant squid have been known to attack sperm whales. They might also try for a bite of humpback whale. Like I said, not much can hunt the humpback whale. The babies are more at risk because they are smaller. An unsuspecting baby could wander from its mom and get eaten by killer whales, sharks, humans and other predators.
Female humpback whales typically breed every two or three years. The gestation period is 11.5 months. Some females have been known to breed in two consecutive years. The peak months for birth are January, February, July, and August. There is usually a 1-2 year period between humpback births.

Answer updated November 9th, 2011:The IUCN has the Humpback whale listed as "Least Concern".However(!) They HAVE been protected by decree of the International Whaling Commission since 1966.
There only predators is Humans and Killer Whales. Killer whales usually feed in pods onto small Humpback whales. Humans hunt humpback whales for whale meat.
The orca`s lifespan is similar to a human`s(As old as 90 years...)
No, the waters are too warm for them. Humpback whales travel there, though, to give birth to their young.
Depends on the type of whale. Humpbacks live about 125 years. Gray whales live 30 to 60 years. Blue whales live between 80-90 years. Fin whales about 85 years. Minke whales 40-50 years. The sperm whale about 75 years. Most whales live to be 50 years. whales can live to be many different ages.most live to be more than 50 years old. Some Blue Whales have been known to live as long as 80 years. It is believed that they probably live much longer, but there are no accurate records going back beyond the 1920's. It depends on the species, but most live to around 30-50 years. There are two big exception, though. Killer whale females can get significantly older. A good example of this is J2, a wild killer whale female. She's born in 1911. which makes her almost 100 years at the time writing! The Bowhead whale is the longest living mammal on the planet. One animal was caught, healthy and all, and was estimated to be a little over 210 years old at the time of capture! They established this number by conducting tests on the chemicals in the whale's eye. The average whale lives to be around 100-150 years old. Of course only if it is lucky enough to live that long. Whales go through huge battles for food or for females during mating season so they can get wounded easily which sometimes leads to a shorter life.
