The warmer Mexican Baja waters are known to be the stomping grounds for the highest concentration of Migrating Whales in the world. They migrate down from the cold Arctic waters in order to find mates and give birth. Mating occurs in the warmer waters due to the newborns not having enough blubber to survive the colder waters. The Lagoons also provide protection against predators in the open oceans, however, nature is wild, and some do still find themselves in the Lagoons. In the past, the most ferocious predators of all, Humans, killed the most amount of Whales, with whaling in the US hitting its peak in the 1800s, and worldwide scientists believe that in the early 1900s more Whales were hunted than the past 4 centuries combined. Thankfully, since many species were put on the endangered list around 1970, the whales are now protected, although Countries in Asia like Japan have since lifted this ban for ‘scientific’ purposes. So it’s more important than ever to introduce and educate humans on the importance of Whales. Not only do they balance the natural food chain, but ecotourism helps feed local economies directly and indirectly.
