'If we all work together, we can save this species from extinction.' 🐋
Our #AndersonCabotCenter scientists have been studying #NorthAtlanticRightWhales for 40+ years. With ~356 individuals remaining, we are working tirelessly to study and protect these whales.
#MARightWhaleDay
NOAA/BOEM are working to protect #NorthAtlanticRightWhales (less than 340 remain alive). They need support from the public to help enact stronger protections for this #endangered species.

Lawmakers in Maine are allowing lobster fishing to remain unchanged until 2028 (or beyond) - using fishing gear that will continue to harm the #Endangered #NorthAtlanticRightWhales for the next five years.

For #EndangeredSpeciesDay today, we're highlighting two more species - starting with
#NorthAtlanticRightWhales .
Research suggests there are fewer than 350 remaining. Every time a new calf is born, our librarians do a happy dance!

Last week, 24 #NorthAtlanticRightWhales were seen on an #AerialSurvey !
This sighting triggered NOAA to issue a voluntary 'slow speed zone' for boaters. All mariners in the area are encouraged to slow to 10 knots or below in these #DynamicManagementAreas .

#NorthAtlanticRightWhales have been spotted in Canadian waters. 🐋
Yesterday, two whales were spotted by one of our surveillance aircraft north of the #MagdalenIslands . This sighting will result in a 15-day fishing closure in the area where the whales were detected.
Last month, the North Atlantic right whale #CalvingSeason ended with a total of 11 mother-calf pairs.
