He’s making a splash. A majestic humpback whale lunged and breached off the coast of Coney Island this past weekend — marking the 500th member of the special species to be recorded frolicking in the city’s waves since 2012. The whale — deemed a new sighting based on its distinctive fluke — put on a spectacular show for onlookers to celebrate the milestone, which experts say is a clear indicator that the Big Apple’s waters are growing cleaner and more stable for wildlife.
