Women and Children Hardest Hit

From the Associated Press via Yahoo (thanks to Tim Blair):

Hawaiian Waters Grow Crowded with Whales

...

Environmental groups call the trend alarming...

Fortunately, I'm semi-hoaxing you (that there ellipsis after the headline covers a lot of ground): The environmentalists in question are actually alarmed (this time) about an increase in collisions between whales and boats near Hawaii; the increase appears to be a statistically inevitable result of that environment being richer in targets, whale-wise.
