The data says yes! If you look at the data, it shows that 27 of the top 50 whales and 8 of the top 10 are powering down over the course of the next 7 days.
Here is the raw data put into a nice table for us by

Is this a bad thing?
Not really. As you have read from the white pages there are limits to the amount that can be powered down each week. As long as the site keeps growing this should be a non issue.
It is still nice to be able to see the data for yourself though. Click the link below for the latest whale watching info:
