According to the Massachusetts Department of Marine Fisheries, there are currently 3 juvenile humpback whales foraging, because they are still young, so the movement is difficult to predict, some people in order to see the whales closer, will use food to lure, but this may pose a safety concern, the public should maintain at least 100 feet (30.4 meters) away from the whales at sea, fortunately there is no one on the deck of the fishing boat hit by the humpback whales at that time, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.
Humpback whales are usually about 30 to 60 feet (about 9 to 18 meters) long, weigh about 23 to 30 tons, and are spread around the world, they migrate between foraging areas and breeding grounds every year according to the season, and in winter humpback whales will go to warm waters to mate and give birth, and the foraging period is usually in spring and autumn, so humpback whales will appear in Plymouth waters and other places to feed in recent days.
