I had the honor of visiting Papahanaumokuakea
Marine National Monument this summer.
Prior to the journey, I asked kids to ask me what I should be looking for
and what questions they might like answers to about the ocean.
One of Mrs. Charna's Book Club students asked
How has climate change affected Humpback Whale Migration Patterns?
I turned to whale biologist, Jan Straley, for the answer.
She said the the melting ice has increased summer habitat for the whales.
Where Polar Bears once walked, Humpbacks swim.
