The best months to watch for whales in Maui are during whale season. Whale season is from December to early May.
One of the best ways to whale watch is to take a whale watching tour out on the open ocean. If you go on a whale watch during whale season, many tour operators will guarantee whale sightings (or you get to go again for free!)
An alternative for those on a tight budget is to simply whale watch from land for free.
Humpback whales mate and give birth in warm, tropical waters during winter and early spring after an eleven to twelve month gestational period.
Humpback whales typically arrive in Newfoundland waters during the late spring to early summer, with sightings commonly starting around mid-June. They migrate north from their breeding grounds in the Caribbean to feed on the abundant fish and krill in the nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic. The whales generally remain in the area until the fall, when they begin their migration back to warmer waters.
Killer whales frequent the waters of Newfoundland every summer as the marine life flourishes this time of year and there is an abundant supply of food .Their prey include larger fish ,seals and many species of whales including the humpback.
Because many animals, including whales, can sense when there's about to be an earthquake, so the whales all left Japanese waters.
I was recently on a whale watching tour and asked the captain of the boat if ancient Hawaiians had any myths about the humpback whales that are so abundant here around Maui county every year. His response was that there was no record of any ancient Hawaiian myths or even records of humpback whales. Having grown up here I know that ancient Hawaiians venerated species such as the turtle and the shark so it seems inconceivable that whales would be omitted completely. The captain then went on to say that the speculation is that humpback whales were not in the water around Maui County during the time of the ancient Hawaiians. Interesting, no?
The blue whale is based mainly in Arctic and Antarctic waters. Its feeding routes differ depending on the time of year. In summer though they are particularly near the coasts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.
Florida is home to various whale species, including the endangered North Atlantic right whale, which has a population of roughly 350 individuals. Other species, such as humpback whales and orcas, can occasionally be spotted in its waters, especially during migration seasons. However, the exact number of whales in Florida can vary significantly throughout the year due to migration patterns and environmental factors. Overall, while there are not large populations of whales residing year-round, Florida's waters are important for different species at various times.
Grey whales migrate so that they can live where the conditions are the most favorable for their needs. They spend part of the year in northern waters where there is plenty of food, then they migrate south to have their babies where the water isn't so cold.
100 whales a year
It depends on what coast you mean and what time of year.
If it's 2 AM in Los Angeles in June, it is also 2 AM in Maui. Both locations are in the same time zone (Pacific Time Zone) and do not observe Daylight Saving Time differently during that period. Therefore, there is no time difference between the two places at that time of year.
The worst year of all was 1930-31, when 29,400 of blue whales died from torpedo harpoons. ---- As to where whaling is worst: Arguably, most whales are slaughtered in Arctic waters, around Iceland, Russia, Norway, Greenland, Canada and Alaska.
