SUMMARY: Great white sharks, humpback whales, and gray whales have recently been spotted near South Florida’s coast, captivating local fishermen. Captain James Pacovi encountered a great white while fishing in the Keys, while Captain Ryan Preston recorded a rare humpback sighting in Biscayne Bay. Experts believe these sightings signal major changes in ocean patterns, possibly linked to climate change. Humpback whales, typically found offshore, migrate from the North Atlantic to warmer Caribbean waters for breeding. Additionally, a gray whale was inexplicably sighted near Sunny Isles Beach after being absent from the Atlantic for centuries, raising further questions about these marine changes.
