Humpback whales spotted off coast of Cape Cod

Dozens of humpback whales were spotted off the coast on Thursday in Provincetown. Restrictions have been put into place to make sure the whales are protected. “The biggest threat" in the past had been ship strikes, but a year ago the federal government passed a regulation to slow ship speeds up and down the eastern seaboard while these whale moved into the Cape Cod coast.

Scientists said they're encouraged about the future of the whales, who have experienced a bit of a baby boom in recent years. The hope is that the more people see these beautiful creatures, the better the commitment to help them thrive. ________________________________________
