Óscar Guzón Zataráin, director general of Onca Exploraciones in Mazatlán, said yesterday they are recording the presence of more humpback whales off the coast of the city every year.
The abundance of whale pods and baby whales off the shore of Mazatlán has increased in the last seven years he said, adding the reasons could be numerous.
Last year Onca marine biologists registered 22 baby whales, almost double the number observed in previous years.
Onca Exploraciones offers whale watching excursions for tourists from December 15 through April 15 during the four months the species resides in warmer water to reproduce before heading back to the United States, Canada and Alaska.
