For the past few days, there have been some changes in the Vendée Globe fleet. Boris has moved up to 8th place after holding steady in 10th for quite some time. Yet, while we fixate on tracking the positions of 36 remaining boats as they shuffle through the rankings, it’s easy to forget about the incredible natural movements taking place in the same waters. These regions aren’t just pathways for yachts, they are highways for some of the most remarkable creatures on Earth. Today, let’s dive into the world of marine animal migration. By the end of this, you might find yourself less enthralled by race trackers and dreaming of a marine mammal migration tracker instead. Sorry, not sorry in advance!
