New York: cleanest waters are attracting more whales and sharks
The number of humpback whales and great white shark in the coastal waters of New York and the State of New Jersey during this summer's increase to the delight of environmentalists, naturalists, anglers and even bathers.The amount of large sea creatures that has appeared off the coast of Big Apple wasn't seen for several decades and the main cause for the emergence of this abnormal number of whales and sharks on the shore of a city like New York are the cleanest waters.According to Paul Sieswerda, director of the Gotham Whale, a group of volunteers that monitors marine life, cleaner waters have attracted more fish and consequently more whales and sharks. Sieswerda says even if it is possible to view whales feeding with the skyline of New York as a backdrop.The Gotham Whale accounted 29 whales, humpback, all New York waters since the beginning of spring until the end of July. Joining the number of whales seen before this period and those that probably if spotted, the number will be higher than the 43 views in 2013, to 25 from 2012 and at five of 2011, says the Guardian.Gradual cleanup of the Hudson River, which empties into New York Harbor, now brings to sea nutrients that stimulate the growth of plankton, feeding the fish and consequently the whales and sharks. "The river used to not bring anything besides pollution, but in the last five years water was getting cleaner and more nutrients are transported to sea," Sieswerda, stressing that still indicates also the measures of protection and conservation in other regions near New York have contributed to the increase in the number of dolphins, whales and sharks.
