In 1979, when South Africa decided to ban commercial whaling, the population of humpback whales in the western Indian Ocean was down to roughly 300 to 600 individuals. A new survey led by marine biologist Chris Wilkinson of the University of Pretoria’s Mammal Research Institute now suggests they have made a stunning comeback. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Professor Ken Findlay, a whale biologist at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, who was supervisor on the study.
