Humpback Highway by Vanessa Pirotta
A marine scientist invites readers along the annual migration of humpback whales, blending vivid fieldwork with accessible science to reveal how these giants navigate, communicate, feed, and thrive. Using innovative tools—from drones to DNA sampling—she uncovers clues about their health and social lives while tracing the history of human impacts and the species’ remarkable recovery since the end of commercial whaling. Balancing awe-filled encounters with clear-eyed reporting on threats like ship strikes, entanglement, ocean noise, and climate change, it’s a compelling call to protect the ocean highways that sustain them.
