On our coast, ordinary whales have already been stranded in the past, but those were dead specimens. “The perception of the normal whale at the C-Power wind farm is therefore very exceptional,” it sounds. The increase in the number of ships at sea contributes to the number of incidents with large marine mammals. Most ordinary whales that wash up with us died due to a collision with large ships.
Now that there is a ban on whaling almost everywhere, the population of the ordinary whales in the North Atlantic area is slowly recovering. The chance of spotting one yourself has also grown strongly in the past decades: this is due to a larger number of people at sea and the ease in which photos and video can be shared.
