Humpback whale migration accelerates on Australia's Illawarra coast, leading to increased sightings.
Humpback whale migration on Australia's Illawarra coast has accelerated after a slow start, with clearer waters driving the animals closer to shore, resulting in increased sightings. Humpbacks migrate annually from Antarctic waters to subtropical regions for mating and giving birth, and their numbers are expected to rise by about 10% each year. Last season, nearly 1600 whales were recorded along the coast.
