    ..At previous levels, gray whales may have seasonally resuspended 700 million cubic meters of sediment, as much as 12 Yukon Rivers, and provided food to a million sea birds...

    J Hered 100:34-46. 2009
    ..Eastern gray whales are still recovering from the impacts of whaling on their breeding grounds, and these populations should be protected and monitored for future genetic changes...

    S Elizabeth Alter
    Department of Biological Sciences, Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, California, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 7:e35039. 2012
    ..Our results agree with previous genetic studies suggesting the historical size of the eastern gray whale population was roughly three to five times its current size...
