Is this a lot or normal? Where do whales usually go to die?

The article says it's at least partially caused by boat strikes in an especially dangerous area (low visibility, high boat traffic, bottleneck where whales and boats must go to enter or leave).

Is this like when retirees go on cruises? Last trip?
