    I grew up in kayaking with humpback whales. This news makes me really happy. I hope more get to experience that now too.

      This seems to be either quite old or just talking about the atlantic population. Wikipedia says the global population is around 120.000. Which is amazing, as there where only a couple thousand left when the hunt was banned in the sixties. Just thought that would make you happy to know.

      Edit: just noticed who I was answering to, Stamets will probably not even see this…
