Some threats aren’t affecting the whale population that much such as whaling, even though it exists. Climate change is one of the big threats since it is getting worse since it affects ocean currents altering prey distribution, changing feeding grounds, and altering the migratory pathways of whales.
Other threats include the ingestion of marine debris, oil and gas development, disturbance by recreational watercraft, and noise pollution.
More companies need to be careful about the chemicals they are releasing in the ocean.
