Study Finds Nearly One in Five Gray Whales Entering San Francisco Bay Die There

A new study shows 18 percent of gray whales entering San Francisco Bay since 2018 have died there, most from vessel strikes or malnutrition. Researchers say climate change depleting Arctic food supplies is driving the whales into the bay.

This article discusses recent developments in international technology markets and their impact on global economic conditions.
