Maybe humpback whales (at 10% increase yearly) which feed in Antarctica are surviving better than right whales which feed in coastal waters and swallow plastic rubbish. This also affects sea-birds and seals etc. But at 6% growth yearly maybe..
" Early colonists observed large numbers of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) in the bays and inlets along the coast during their annual migration north from Antarctica. In July 1804 Knopwood claimed that in crossing the River Derwent, 'we passed so many whales that it was dangerous for the boat to go up the river unless you kept very near the shore'."
