EDiS – Environments/Habitats - #8 - “Deep Sea”
In March, April and May of each year the Gray Whales migrate back through the deep blue waters of the east side of the Pacific Ocean with their new young to the Salish Sea around Whidbey and Vancouver Islands. They spend late spring and early summer feeding in the murky green, plankton rich waters of Puget Sound before their trip back north to Canada and Alaska. Here in Langley, their return is marked with a parade and festival, and by the ringing of the Whale Bell each time one is seen in Saratoga Passage. They are easy to spot – we can hear them down there in the water, whooshing and spouting, splashing and slapping. Traffic note: ferry captains stop their boats, and we travelling passengers wait, allowing the whales to swim by.
