Title: Two Dead Humpback Whales Found Off Coast of New York: The Latest Tragedy for the Endangered Species In a heartbreaking discovery this week, two dead humpback whales were found floating off the coasts of Long Island and Staten Island. These majestic creatures are just the latest casualties in a string of threats facing humpback whales, including entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships, and habitat degradation. The loss of these two whales serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for action to protect these endangered species. With only around 80,000 humpback whales remaining worldwide, every individual death is a blow to the survival of the species. It's time for governments, businesses, and individuals alike to step up and take responsibility for the harm they cause to humpback whales. We must do more to reduce the impact of fishing gear on these animals, enforce stricter regulations on shipping lanes, and work to restore and protect their habitats. The loss of these two whales is a tragedy, but it's not too late to save the humpback whale from extinction. We owe it to these incredible creatures to act now before it's too late. The animals, observed floating off Long Island and Staten Island this week, were the latest casualties of a species that faces many threats.
