As the Gulf of St. Lawrence warms, whales are switching up the menu and may be sharing lunch

TL;DR


Summary:
- Whales in the St. Lawrence River are struggling to find enough food due to climate change. As the water temperature rises, the whales' main food source - small shrimp-like creatures called krill - are moving further north, forcing the whales to travel longer distances to find them.
- The changing climate is also affecting the timing of the whales' migration patterns, making it harder for them to find the right food at the right time. This can lead to the whales becoming malnourished and potentially affecting their ability to reproduce.
- Researchers are concerned that the declining whale population in the St. Lawrence River could have a ripple effect on the entire ecosystem, as whales play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the marine environment.
