Whales will not be unusual guests to Lebanon’s shoreline, showing at varied occasions all year long as a part of their seasonal migration patterns.
Not too long ago, a exceptional video captured the eye of many when a fisherman’s lens captured footage of a large whale measuring roughly 8 meters lengthy stranded on the shores of al-Abdeh in Akkar.
Professor Michel Bariche, a revered marine science professional on the American College of Beirut, recognized the whale as seemingly belonging to the “Bryde’s Whale” species.
He advised Al-Jadeed, “Lebanon’s coastal waters are a part of the common migration route for these magnificent creatures”.
The video shortly went viral on social media platforms, with many people sharing and circulating the exceptional sightings.
Whereas such occurrences could appear extraordinary, specialists reassure that it isn’t unusual for whales to be noticed alongside Lebanon’s shores, highlighting the wealthy biodiversity of the area’s marine atmosphere.
Again in 2020, a killer whale was noticed in Lebanese waters for the primary time, swimming near the boat off the coast of Khalde.
