Show Notes
San Diego is a special place for whale watching. Blue whales, humpbacks, and gray whales are among the species San Diegans can see at various times of year. The waters off San Diego serve as a migratory corridor for many whale species, as well as a place for others to feed.
On Midday Edition Tuesday, we hear from local whale experts Nicole Schriber and Domenic Biagini to learn more about some of these giant marine mammals that San Diegans can experience.
Right now, gray whales are passing through San Diego, and can be seen from shore.
"This has been a really exciting gray whale season because it's the first one where the whales have looked healthy in about half a decade," Biagini said.
Guests:
- Domenic Biagini, captain and owner, Gone Whale Watching
- Nicole Schriber, graduate student, UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography
