CHANNEL ISLANDS REGION, Calif. – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) urges boaters to take care as up to 30 blue whales, including multiple mother/calf pairs, have been reported feeding in the Channel Islands area recently. The federal ocean-focused agency explained the whales are attracted to the area due to the seasonal upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water which creates the perfect conditions for krill, the primary prey for blue whales. Upwelling happens when winds running parallel to the coast as well as the rotation of the Earth, push warmer surface water offshore allowing colder water from deeper in the ocean to be pulled up to the surface.
