Arctic bowhead whale populations rebound faster in historically protected areas than in regions where whalers had easy access.
Researchers found bowhead whale populations are recovering faster in areas where historic sea ice kept whalers away centuries ago.
While stocks off Alaska and West Greenland rebounded due to these protected zones, populations in regions like East Greenland and the Sea of Okhotsk remain depleted because whalers easily accessed those areas.
The study highlights how past hunting combined with ice barriers shaped uneven recovery patterns across the Arctic.
