今天是世界鲸鱼日(It's World Whale Day)

正如每年都有一些游客返回夏威夷一样，成千上万的座头鲸家庭，如图中所示，每年都会到毛伊岛附近的水域进行冬季访问。它们是今天鲸类庆祝活动——世界鲸鱼日背后的原因。虽然在世界上所有海洋中都遵守各种各样的鲸鱼，但在毛伊岛，太平洋鲸鱼基金会首先举办了这项活动，并将其定为与驼背的年度回归相匹配。

As surely as some tourists return to Hawaii each and every year, thousands of humpback whale families, like the one seen in this photo, make an annual winter visit to the waters off Maui. They're the reason behind today's cetacean celebration – World Whale Day. While the observance honours whales of all kinds in all the world's oceans, it was here in Maui that the Pacific Whale Foundation first held the event and timed it to match the yearly return of the humpbacks.
