Gray whales swim from Mexico to the Arctic and<br \/>\n back each year. The trip covers some 22,000 kilometers<br \/>\n (14,000 miles).\n <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n Gray whales were once hunted to near<br \/>\n extinction. Protected from hunting in<br \/>\n 1947, they were removed from the<br \/>\n Endangered Species Act list in 1994.\n <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n All seemed well until about 2019. Since<br \/>\n then hundreds of gray whales have<br \/>\n washed up dead on the beaches from<br \/>\n Alaska to Mexico. Most of the dead<br \/>\n whales were skinny and malnourished.\n <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n What kinds of situations do gray whales<br \/>\n encounter on their long trip that might<br \/>\n help explain the death of these whales?\n <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n “Electronic Whale” is a computer simulation of half of the gray whale’s<br \/>\n trip. A computer simulation “models” or represents real<br \/>\n life. In this simulation, you will experience some of the<br \/>\n things that a gray whale faces on its migration. You will<br \/>\n also choose how your whale responds to what it meets.<br \/>\n This means that no two runs of the simulation will be<br \/>\n exactly alike.\n <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n The object of this simulation is to get your whale to the<br \/>\n lagoon before a 90 day time limit expires. The 90-day limit<br \/>\n represents the three-month migration.\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/computer.png\" alt=\"Computer\">\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tail.png\" alt=\"Tail of a whale\"><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/whale-set-up\/\"><button class=\"lrg btn grn\">Set Up – Let’s Get Going…<\/button><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Electronic Whale Electronic Whale The migration of the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"no-header-footer.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9327"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9327"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9393,"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9327\/revisions\/9393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.forsea.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
