Does anyone have an idea what is the overall population of whales? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but years ago I neversaw deer, or wild turkeys or bear in lower Bergen County. Now they're pretty common.

If the whale population is rebounding in the Atlantic, wouldn't it fllow that there are more whalesto die and therefore wash ashore?

From what I was reading on news sites, the humpback whale population was noted as rebounding or having significant growth. So while we should probably figure out what's causing this, their population is in an ok spot, for now.
