Researchers develop model predicting humpback whale migration, aiding conservation amid climate threats.

Researchers have created a new model that accurately predicts the migration of humpback whales along the eastern coast of Australia. This model, which captures the whales' behaviors and southward movement, can aid in conservation efforts. Despite successful recovery from commercial whaling, humpback whales now face threats from climate change. The model considers factors like water depth and temperature and can be expanded to study future impacts on whale migration.
