PFAS detected in dolphin milk may pass from mothers to calves Researchers have found that a group of chemicals known as PFAS can be transferred from mother dolphins to their nursing calves, adding to the evidence that these persistent contaminants can be transferred from mothers to offspring during early development.

Stranded and dying, the German whale is a parable of our troubled relationship with these sea giants Even as we empathise with these intelligent animals, our relentless push for resources kills them in their thousands, just as whalers once hunted them to the brink of extinction

Study ranks Hawaiian monk seal most at risk of extinction from plastic pollution - EnviroNews - latest environment news, climate change, renewable energy A new study released in Conservation Biology on Wednesdy, April 15, 2026, and co-authored by scientists at Ocean Conservancy, Arizona State University and Shaw Institute is said to be the first to rank marine mammals based on their vulnerability to macroplastic pollution. Macroplastic implies any plastic piece larger than 5mm, roughly the width of a pencil eraser. The […]

Sperm whale clicks follow similar rules to human speech Sperm whales produce powerful clicks to communicate. To our ears, they sound nothing more than a series of repetitive, mechanical taps. But we could be a step closer to understanding some of their complex communication, as scientists have discovered that the large marine mammals organize their sounds in patterns similar to those of human speech.

Norway Reopens Annual Whale Hunt Despite Pressure to End Commercial Whaling Norway reopened its annual whale hunting season earlier this month, continuing a practice most countries abandoned decades ago. By the mid-20th century, industrial whaling had pushed many whale species to the brink of extinction. To stop the collapse, the International Whaling Commission implemented a global moratorium on commercial whaling in the 1980s. While most nations […]

Rare beluga whale spotted off Dutch coast in January likely found dead in Zeeland A decomposed whale-like carcass that washed ashore Friday in Kamperland, Zeeland, and an earlier report of a dead beluga on Banjaardstrand both point to what experts believe is the same rare beluga whale that was seen multiple times along the Dutch and Belgian coasts earlier this year.

Four sperm whale strandings point to potential human causes Four sperm whales that stranded separately on southeastern U.S. coastlines between 2020–22 were emaciated and malnourished, with ingested fishing gear and marine debris found in two of them, according to a new study that compared the four cases. The investigations, intended to better understand the causes behind whale deaths and to inform future marine mammal management decisions, were reported in a study published in the journal Diseases of Aquatic Organisms.
