Signs of Whales Returning

Redesigned signs warn of dangers during whale season: "Fearing that more boating traffic increases the potential for collisions with humpback whales during the winter whale season, state and federal agencies say they are posting new warning signs at harbors and boat ramps."

The signs of the whales return are litterally starting to show in the Hawaiian Islands region...

New signs are being posted that are easier to read and understand at a glance warning about whale collision, compared to the older signs that are harder to read while passing. This is good, since when the next generation of calves are born and start their life they need to surface more often.
