The beautiful blue whale is the largest animal in the sea and can weigh as much as 200 tns. Blue whales, like s many f the species, have been cnsidered seriusly endangered but a new Antarctic survey shws an bvius increase in numbers. This is certainly smething t celebrate.
The 21-day 2020 survey led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), shws that blue whales and ther whale species are making a cmeback in the cld Antarctic waters. The survey marked the end f a three-year wild water prject ff Suth Gergia Island in the Suth Atlantic.
The survey included 40 researchers frm nine cuntries. It tk place in the mst heavily hunted waters in the wrld where 176,000 whales were caught in arund 60 years f hunting peratins frm shre statins n the island and frm factry whaling ships. The researchers have sptted 55 whales in 36 sightings already in 2020 in a lcatin where nly ne whale was sptted in 2018. The scientists were able t recgnize the whales acustically（声学上）thrugh their sngs — blue whales are als the ludest animals n Earth.
The new survey is extremely imprtant because Suth Gergia’s waters are a majr krill（磷虾）feeding area fr different whale species. In all, BAS estimated that 2000 whales f different species nw spend the summer in Suth Gergia befre heading nrth t breed. “After three years f surveys, we are excited t see s many whales visiting Suth Gergia t feed again,” whale prject leader Jennifer Jacksn said.
With increased awareness and prtectin effrts, species n land and in the sea can be preserved and their numbers can increase. We may nt be able t restre all f the bidiversity（生物多样性）that nce existed, but we can preserve what remains.
