The 9th Humpback Whale Festival is being held in Praia do Forte, Bahia. This free event integrates nature, art, sports, and music to celebrate the presence of humpback whales in the region.

Environmental educator Isabela Oliveira, coordinator of Espaço Baleia Jubarte, noted that the festival serves as a platform for environmental education. She highlighted the ecological importance of the whales, explaining that they act as “significant carbon reservoirs” and assist in ocean oxygen production by fertilizing phytoplankton through their waste.

The program features cultural activities, such as the ‘Cortejo da Baleia Elétrica’ with Armandinho Macedo and Irmãos Macedo. The festival is part of the 4th edition of ‘Festival Praia do Forte a Seu Gosto’, which combines gastronomy, tourism, and nature.
