4. will be affected by flooding like other coastal countries PART

Off San Juan Island in Washington's Puget Sound, a fine mist brushes the little--boat-and just- as suddenly vanishes. The vapour looks like a loose wisp of rainbow and smells like overcooked broccoli. The skiff bounces on over Salmon Bank, where cold, nutrient-rich water wells up from the deep and forges a thick food chain. We head for a silver commotion of adolescent herring to starboard.

Salmon, dogfish sharks, or both might have forced this school of juveniles to the surface. The fish quickly drew sharp-eyed diving birds-rhinoceros auklets, guillemots, and cormorants-which force the herring into a churning ball. A harbour seal, rolling in the middle with its mouth open, suddenly scoots off to one side. The birds take flight. The next instant, a whale explodes upward through the ball, then sinks out of sight, leaving a ring of ripples with fish scales glinting in the centre and, once again, the aroma of broccoli steamed beyond its time.

“That,” says Jonathan Stern, a Florida State University marine biologist, trying to steer while scribbling notes in the rain, “is minke whale breath.”

Also known as little piked whales and pikeheads, minkes are the smallest members of a family of baleen whales called rorquals. The group includes 120-ton blue whales and other titans such as humpbacks, seis, and fins. Minkes, 22 to 33 feet long with a weight of just 5 to 10 tons, seem downright svelte by comparison. Nevertheless, a 19th-century

German sea captain named Meincke once confused

a pikehead with a blue. As a joke, the whalers took to calling the littlest rorquals Meincke whales.
