Fin Whale Spotted in Salish Sea | Vancouver News

A massive fin whale—second only to the blue whale—has been spotted in the Salish Sea, a rare and thrilling sighting for whale watchers. These giants, with their striking asymmetrical jaw coloring and ability to grow up to 26 meters long, are filter feeders that cruise deep waters chasing krill. Once decimated by commercial whaling and still listed as endangered in U.S. waters and a species of special concern in Canada, their presence signals hopeful signs of recovery. This sighting, one of the largest ever recorded locally, underscores the rich biodiversity right in our backyard and the importance of ongoing conservation efforts.
