Taylor Azizeh, a first-year Ph.D. student at OSU's Marine Mammal Institute, joins Matt to discuss how climate change might be driving gray whales to shift their feeding habits along the Pacific Northwest coast. Taylor's research explores the phenomenon of 'prey switching,' where these benthic specialists switch from seafloor to water-column feeding. By combining stable isotope analysis, GPS tracking, and drone photogrammetry, Taylor aims to understand how gray whales adapt to changing prey availability in a warming ocean. Listen in to hear about her journey from Costa Rica to London to OSU, her passion for these majestic animals, and the big-picture questions she seeks to answer. Hosted by Matthew Vaughan.

A population of gray whales that feed off the Oregon coast have been shrinking in size over the last 20 years. New research from Oregon State University shows that whales born in 2020 grew to be more than 13% shorter than whales born before 2000. The shrinkage could bring significant reproductive health challenges for the whales, and could also be a warning sign about the health of the broader ecosystem. K.C. Bierlich is an assistant professor of senior research at OSU’s Marine Mammal Institute. He joins us with more details.

Earlier this month, the body of a juvenile gray whale was found washed onto a beach in Bandon on the Southern Oregon coast. Bite marks on the body suggested it was likely killed by orcas, which hunt gray whales. Typically, reports of a beached whale would trigger a response from government officials to authorize the collection of samples to determine the cause of death. But in this case, officials at the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department went one step further. Realizing the cultural significance of this discovery, they alerted the Coquille Indian Tribe, whose ancestral lands span the Southern Oregon coast. According to Tribal Chair Brenda Meade, “within an hour or so” about 50 Tribal members had assembled at the beach to take claim of this “gift” and honor it with an intergenerational ceremony that included prayer and song. Meade shares details from that special day on the beach, and how the whale continues to provide sustenance for the Coquille Indian Nation on the eve of the 35th anniversary of the restoration of its recognition by the federal government.

Andrew Lewin discusses the recent incident of a pod of orcas trapped in ice off the coast of Japan. He explains how a researcher discovered the stranded orcas and alerted the authorities, leading to widespread concern and viral footage. Andrew also touches on the importance of understanding why whales and orcas get stuck in ice. The episode was prompted by a listener, Eddie Benningfeld, who reached out to Andrew on Instagram. Tune in to learn more about this event and how it highlights the need for ocean conservation.

The distressing situation was captured on drone footage by a researcher who spotted the pod, consisting of about a dozen orcas, bobbing up and down in the ice. Concerned individuals quickly shared the footage online and contacted authorities in Japan for assistance. The video showed the orcas tightly packed together, with some reports even suggesting that they had blood on their jaws, indicating their attempts to find holes in the ice to breathe and break free. Orcas frequently come to the surface to breathe, so being trapped in ice can be life-threatening for them. Efforts were made to rescue the trapped orcas, with petitions signed and authorities contacted. In some cases, icebreakers were used to break up the ice and create pathways for the orcas to swim to safety. However, the fate of the trapped orcas remained uncertain until they were discovered to have disappeared. The disappearance of the orcas has led to speculation that they managed to escape from the ice. It is believed that they may have found a path with multiple holes in the ice, allowing them to navigate their way out. The exact details of their escape are unknown, but the fact that they are no longer trapped is a positive development. This incident highlights the vulnerability of orcas and other marine mammals to getting trapped in ice. While it is not uncommon for orcas to become stuck in ice, it is always a cause for concern due to the potential for injury or death. The rescue efforts and attention brought to this incident demonstrate the public's concern for the well-being of these iconic marine species. Continued monitoring of the situation is important to ensure the pod of orcas remains safe and does not become trapped again. The incident also serves as a reminder of the need to protect and conserve marine habitats to prevent such situations from occurring in the future. Orcas and other whales can become stuck in ice when hunting under the ice and surfacing to breathe. This is a common occurrence in the Arctic region, where these whales often venture to hunt. Orcas, in particular, are known for their frequent surfacing to breathe, unlike other whale species that can stay submerged for longer periods. When hunting, orcas swim beneath the ice and search for prey. They rely on small holes or openings in the ice to come up and breathe. However, sometimes the ice freezes around them or becomes too packed, making it difficult for them to find a way out. This can result in them getting trapped under the ice. The recent incident off the coast of Japan, where a pod of orcas was found trapped in ice, highlights the potential dangers these animals face. The drone footage captured by a researcher showed the orcas bobbing up and down in the ice, unable to move for several hours. The distressing video went viral, raising concerns among those who saw it. Efforts were made to rescue the trapped orcas. Authorities were contacted, and petitions were signed to bring attention to the situation. In some cases, icebreakers were used to break up the ice and create openings for the whales to escape. However, it is not an easy task due to the size and weight of these massive animals. It is important to note that orcas getting stuck in ice is not uncommon. While it is distressing to witness, it is a natural risk they face when navigating icy environments. The fact that they are highly social animals that travel in pods can further increase the number of individuals affected when a pod becomes trapped. Movies like "Big Miracle" and real-life incidents, such as the recent one off the coast of Japan, bring people together to help these animals. Collaborative efforts involving various stakeholders, including environmental activists, whale hunters, and government authorities, are often required to rescue trapped whales. The ultimate goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of these iconic and important ocean species. While the recent incident in Japan ended with the orcas potentially escaping, it is crucial to continue monitoring their movements and well-being to prevent them from getting stuck in the ice again. Overall, the episode highlights the challenges faced by orcas and other whales when hunting under the ice and surfacing to breathe. It emphasizes the importance of raising awareness, taking action, and collaborating to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. Efforts are made to rescue trapped whales, including using icebreakers to break up the ice and create paths for the whales to swim to safety. In the podcast episode, it was mentioned that when whales or orcas get trapped in ice, authorities are often contacted, and icebreakers are brought in to help. Icebreakers are specially designed ships that can break through thick ice. They have a reinforced hull and a powerful engine that allows them to navigate through icy waters. Icebreakers are used to create paths or channels in the ice, allowing trapped whales to swim to safety. These paths are crucial for the whales to reach open water and access areas where they can breathe. By breaking up the ice, icebreakers provide a lifeline for the trapped whales, preventing them from suffocating or becoming injured. In the podcast episode, the movie "Big Miracle" was mentioned, which is based on a true story of a rescue effort to save gray whales trapped in ice near Point Barrow, Alaska. In the movie, de-icing machines were used to keep the holes open for the whales to breathe. This highlights the various methods and technologies that can be employed to aid in the rescue of trapped whales. Rescuing trapped whales is a challenging and complex task. It requires coordination between different stakeholders, including authorities, environmental organizations, and even local communities. The goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of the whales while minimizing any potential harm or stress caused during the rescue operation. It is important to note that the use of icebreakers is just one method employed in whale rescue efforts. Other techniques, such as using whale calls or guiding the whales with boats, have also been utilized in different situations. The specific approach taken depends on the circumstances and the species of whale involved. Overall, the use of icebreakers to break up ice and create paths for trapped whales is an important tool in the rescue efforts. These efforts demonstrate the commitment of individuals and organizations to protect and preserve these magnificent creatures and ensure their survival in the face of challenging circumstances.

In 2012 I decided to open a museum called the Whale, Sealife and Shark Museum. I have been a collector of marine specimens ever since I was four years old. I want to share my love of the ocean with as many people as I can so I figured that this would be a perfect way and place to share them. On the outside of the museum, I drew whale cut outs, then my Dad cut them out and my youngest daughter, Ariel, painted them. Each of the ten whales on the outside of the building are summer residents that return year after year. They are painted to show their most distinctive characteristics. The inside mural done by Justin Sparks shows artwork of actual pictures I took along with an adoption wall. Around the first corner you will see a shark exhibit with actual taxidermied sharks that a professor had in his collection from the 1950's. Each shark, jaw or picture gives you valuable information on that individual. Next you encounter the tropical exhibit with a number of organisms, insects, frogs and more embedded in the exhibit for an “I SPY” adventure. Anyone living in Oregon during winter can come and sit down in a lawn chair in front of this exhibit and pretend you are in the tropics! The next exhibit shows the 4 zones of the rocky intertidal with its characteristic organisms. I made posters that correspond to the actual specimens that you can see. Next you encounter 6 cubbies with the various phyla of animal groups in them. In each cubby I made an informative poster and labels. Every cubby shows fossil forms and modern day forms and you can visibly see there has been NO Change over time. Upstairs you have a theater to watch educational films I made. The next room is the pinniped room which includes life size artwork of seals, sea lions, walruses, river otters and sea otters. It also has an exhibit of manatees even though we do not have them here. I am working in the winter with a company in Florida where you can swim with manatees. Next you walk into the bird room with taxidermied local birds, bird sculptures and lots of information. The last room is the whale room which shows life-size whale tail flukes and a diorama of the gray whales with information and specimens from Alaska, Depoe Bay and Baja California. The mural on the wall in the whale room shows the migration route of the gray whale from Alaska to Baja California, Mexico and back. There is also the stopping point in Depoe Bay where we have our summer residents stay from June-October. Almost all the photographs are ones I personally took and the various black posters are ones I developed with the help of an awesome photo editor named Charles Hall. I have also written six books ranging from a Marine Biology textbook to field guides on Gray Whales, Seals, Sea Lions and Otters, Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, Seabirds and Shorebirds and more.Please enjoy! ~ Carrie Newell, CEO WREE,WSSM --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loren-alberts/message

Gray whales have an incredible story to tell. They also are a species that demonstrates clearly what is happening to our oceans with climate change. Once nearly hunted to extinction and knocked out of the Atlantic Ocean, Gray Whales were on the brink. They are a model species for conservation as they went from around 1000 whales to nearly 25,000 whales in 2016. However, with a rapidly changing climate and a diminishing food supply due to their incredibly unique ecologically niche, Gray Whales have suffered a setback. In 2019, thousands of Gray Whales perished and now their population is around 15,00 whales. Yet, there is hope and we do bring that up in this week's podcast.

Whale Watch Week officially kicked off on Tuesday, a chance to catch gray whales as they pass along the Oregon coast during a migration which stretches from the warm lagoons of Baja, Mexico to the icy waters of Alaska. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department hosts the whale watching event twice a year, including most recently last December, when it took place for the first time in person since the start of the pandemic. For the spring event, 17 viewing sites have been set up from Fort Stevens near Astoria to Harris Beach near the California border. At each of the sites the public can explore interactive exhibits, grab a pair of binoculars and get help from trained volunteers to spot the marine mammals traveling about a mile off the coast, some with recently birthed calves in tow. Peter McBride is a park ranger with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department based at Beverly Beach, near Newport. He joins us to talk about Whale Watch Week and what visitors can expect to see during the event which ends this Sunday.
