Humphrey the Whale was a young humpback whale who gained fame in 1985 when he swam into the San Francisco Bay. His journey took him far from his natural habitat in the open ocean, leading to concerns for his safety. Marine biologists and volunteers worked tirelessly to guide him back to the ocean, using boats and sound signals. After several attempts to redirect him, Humphrey finally found his way out of the bay and back into the Pacific Ocean. His story raised awareness about the challenges faced by marine life and the importance of protecting their natural environments.
