Some whale #linocut prints for #WorldWhaleDay! I’ve had the great privilege of seeing humpbacks and orcas (and other species) when working at sea. They seem as curious about us as we are of them.

I would love to see the blue whale and narwhals, in my other prints, too.

I hope we always live in a world where whales can thrive.

My linocut in silver on white washi paper of a pod of narwhals. There are two large ones near the top crossed like an x, each head up, and three smaller ones below pointed towards the upper left, lower right and one going into the plane of the image with a horizontal line at the top, marking the surface of the water.
My linocut orca whale is leaping out of the water leaving a trail of splashed droplets of water from the sea surface. It’s printed in black on white paper.
My square 8” x 8” print on white washi paper. The upper two thirds are printed as a deep blue-green rectangle with missing unprinted white silhouette of a humpback whale now filled with a linocut print of the humpback in dark blue-grey. The tip of its mouth and tail extend into the white margin space. The bottom third is a grey rectangle with the missing silhouettes of 6 barnacles unprinted in white now filled with linocut C. diadema barnacles with silver striations and orange centres with opercular valves.

Have you ever wondered why whales breach? 🩵

Researchers speculate whales likely breach for various reasons, which help them communicate, deter threats, successfully forage and mate, and, in general, survive in their dynamic underwater world.

What you’re seeing here is the first-ever footage of a blue whale calf nursing and rare video of blue whale courtship! 🐋

Evidence of blue whales’ reproductive and calving behaviour has remained largely "unknown" in the scientific community until now, but a project led by Charles Darwin University and The Australian National University has gathered footage capturing this behaviour.

The footage was taken in Timor-Leste’s waters, where long-term monitoring is providing critical insights into the ecology of the Austral-Indonesian population of pygmy blue whales.

‘I’m a #BlueWhale, I’m here’: researchers listen with delight to songs that hint at Antarctic resurgence theguardian.com/environment/ar

"Audio collected with underwater microphones suggests numbers at least stable after centuries of industrial #whaling left only a few hundred alive... The #whales were heard increasingly often in the #SouthernOcean from 2006 to 2021"

Listening to giants: The search for the elusive Antarctic blue whale
phys.org/news/2024-05-giants-e paper: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33

"For almost two decades the team has been using free-floating #sonobuoys as listening stations, to detect, track and record Antarctic #BlueWhale and other #whale sounds. Spending more than eight months at sea, on seven voyages, the team has traveled more than 145,510 kilometers and monitored nearly 3,900 hours of sound from listening stations all around #Antarctica."

The Southern Ocean upwelling is a mecca for whales and tuna, with its nutrient-rich water supporting a prosperous ecosystem.

The environmental importance of the upwelling is one reason the federal government declared a much-reduced zone for offshore wind turbines in the region, which thankfully covers only one-fifth of the area initially proposed.

Here's why the Southern Ocean upwelling is worth celebrating… ausgeo.co/upwelling

The Southern Ocean upwelling is a mecca for #whales and #tuna that’s worth celebrating and protecting theconversation.com/the-southe

"The Great Southern Australian Coastal #Upwelling System is an upward current of water over vast distances along #Australia’s southern coast. It brings nutrients from deeper waters to the surface. This nutrient-rich water supports a rich #ecosystem that attracts iconic species like the southern #BluefinTuna and #BlueWhale"

My linocut orca whale is leaping out of the water leaving a trail of splashed droplets of water from the sea surface. It’s printed in black on white paper.
My linocut shows a collection of narwhal under water, printed in silver grey on white paper. There are two large whales viewed from the side crossed like an x with their horns up, and smaller narwhal going down and into the page (two in profile and one from behind).
My blue whale linocut shows the spotted diving whale in blue-grey on patterned Japanese washi paper in pale blue with a sliver wave pattern.
This lino block print of a humpback whale is printed in white and grey ink on lovely handmade paper in a deep blue. The paper has a little texture and there is a little white “chatter” (carving marks) around the whale.

• Tasmanian research found seismic blasting also triggers extensive death in #plankton, including #krill, which are crucial foundations of #MarineFoodWebs, from more than a kilometre away.

There is a proposal for seismic blasting over 45,000 sq km of ocean between #Victoria and #Tasmania by joint venture #TGS/#SLB-Schlumberger , which would see seismic blasting over commonwealth #MarineParks and #endangered #BlueWhale feeding areas. 🐋
