Unexplained Silence of Blue Whales Sparks Scientific Concern A growing mystery has emerged in the oceans, as many blue whales have gone mysteriously silent, prompting concern among scientists. Researchers have been studying the impact of human activity on marine life through acoustic recordings captured off the coast of Monterey Bay, California. These recordings have revealed a significant drop in blue whale songs over the past six years, with a nearly 40% decline observed. The research team discovered that major heat waves had affected the region, leading to the proliferation of toxic algae and the depletion of the whales' primary food source.

He described the period as particularly challenging for whales. The marine heatwave known as The Blob began in 2013 and spread ...
