Honestly I'm just disappointed. It's been more than a decade since the start of some anti bullying initiatives I knew of and we seem to have fixed nothing.

This. I remember seeing my elementary school go through a dramatic overhaul (new jungle gym, expanding the building twice, etc) in the span of 2-3 years because they dropped an administrator.

Some articles are also noting that 40% of the recent deaths since December are attributed to ships hitting them or fishing related equipment.

From what I was reading on news sites, the humpback whale population was noted as rebounding or having significant growth. So while we should probably figure out what's causing this, their population is in an ok spot, for now.
