California Gray Whale Recovery Not As Robust As Originally Thought?

A study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that scientists may have underestimated the historical number of gray whales from Mexico to Alaska. If accurate, then one of the great success stories of rebound from the brink of extinction in the ocean may not be as successful as originally thought.

Which would make this even more sad and troubling.
