This first-ever comprehensive global view of #whale migration superhighways from 'Protecting Blue Corridors' - a new report by WWF & our partners @ucsc, @OregonState, @unisouthampton & others -looks at the growing threats #whales are facing around the world🌏from: 
🎣Entanglement in fishing gear (bycatch): killing an estimated 300,000 whales, dolphins, and porpoises each year, it is the deadliest threat by far.
🚢Ship strikes: some of the busiest ports and channels overlap with important habitats for whales. One of the leading human-caused deaths for several whale populations, global ship traffic is projected to increase 240-1,209% by 2050.
