A dead whale was found in the
Boston Harbor this week. It was over 50 feet in length. On average three or
four whales are spotted in the Boston Harbor each year. But it is rare to find
one dead. One man stated that whales are normally found dead at sea. Examining
the body, authorities have been trying to figure out how it died. When the
whale was discovered they found blood all around in the water with marks all
over the whale.
It looks as if the whale had
been in some situation where it was injured greatly. Being found in the Boston
harbor, it could’ve possibly been a problem with humans. Humans need to be
careful with the surrounding marine life. The death of whales this close to
land is a serious issue. If the whales continue to be found dead then we will
have a serious problem on our hands. I think it is disturbing to find a 50 foot
whale dead in the Boston harbor. These deaths can ruin the balance in
Ecosystems if too many are killed. Humans need to be careful if they are the
responsible ones for the death. Possible barriers to protecting whales are oil
spills and littering of the ocean. With those problems, more than just whales
will die.
If the accident was human fault then I agree that humans should be more careful in the waters around Boston. If the whale’s death was not due to humans then researchers need to find out what killed it.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you. This is our Earth and we need to share it with all of the wild life and organisms around us. I think we as humans just need to be a little bit more conscious with taking care of ecosystems like forests, seas and harbors. We especially need to be careful with marine life also. I think it is very disturbing that a big 50 foot whale just popped up on the shore. Even though littering and taking care of our surroundings is a big issue, I think it took something with a great force to kill that big whale.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Humans need to be more careful. They do not realize the impact they have on Earth. It is the only planet that we have so we need to take care of it.
ReplyDeleteI believe we should be more careful. We need to start being more conscientious of our actions that could effect not only the animals but al types of species.
ReplyDeletei agree with logan. Something needs to be done about these whale killings. Humans need to be more careful around marine life. They dont realize that if they destroy something, their ruining an ecosystem, even if its just a tiny part of that ecosystem. The balance doesnt need to be thrown off in nature by the carelessness of humans. we need to do whatever we can to protect marine life.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We need to be more aware of our surroundings. The death of that very whale could have effected a food chain. Which could lead to an increase of krill or seals around the area. Also we must always remember, Fish are friends not food.
