What challenges are whale populations around Alaska facing?

Whales used to be a common sight around Kodiak Island, but in recent years, locals have observed fewer of the iconic mammals. A necropsy of a dead humpback whale performed in Kodiak seeks to answer questions about the health of whales in the area, but what other challenges are whale populations around the state facing? We speak with marine biologists on this episode of Alaska Insight.
