The video discusses the endangered Gray whale population around Sackland Island, Russia, and the environmental concerns surrounding a pipeline project by Sacklin Energy. The project, led by Royal Dutch Shell, faces opposition from environmental groups due to its potential impact on the whales' feeding grounds. Adjustments to the project include burying the pipeline deeper to protect it from ice and studying ways to minimize disturbances to the whales.
