在澳洲海岸外, 座头鲸蓬勃发展, 多亏保护成功, 吸引民众与近距离接触。 Humpback whales are thriving off Australia’s coast, thanks to conservation success, drawing crowds with close encounters.

每年 10 月，成千上万的座头鲸沿着澳大利亚新南威尔士州远南海岸迁徙，吸引人群目睹突破、拍尾和近距离接触。 Every October, thousands of humpback whales migrate along Australia’s NSW Far South Coast, drawing crowds to witness breaches, tail slaps, and close encounters. 2025年以不季节性的温暖天气为特征的移徙特别活跃,鲸鱼经常通过海岸附近,包括塔斯拉码头。 The 2025 migration, marked by unseasonably warm weather, has been especially vibrant, with whales frequently passing near shore, including at Tathra wharf. 科学家相信,由于全球禁止捕鲸和养护努力,东部的座头鲸人口急剧复苏,目前估计比1960年代的150人增加约50 000人。 Scientists credit a dramatic recovery in the eastern humpback population—now estimated at around 50,000—up from just 150 in the 1960s—due to global whaling bans and conservation efforts. 这种反弹被认为是一项重大的成功,使人们与自然重新连接起来,并激励人们共享奇迹。 This rebound is celebrated as a major success, reconnecting people with nature and inspiring shared wonder.
