August, 2016 Upwellings, explosion in krill, and lots of whales!

After quite a period of strong winds from the Northwest, a few days ago winds dropped off and became more variable.  The result is the end of the strong upwelling caused by the winds which has produced an explosion in krill and Humpback, Blue, and Fin whales feeding on them in Monterey Bay near the canyon.
