Abstract

In the past seven years, 2017-2023, ninety-eight known right whale mortalities, serious injuries, and sub-lethal injuries have occurred, with additional undocumented deaths estimated based on the North Atlantic Right Whale Catalog. Unfortunately, not all of the right whale's regions have the necessary protections that are seasonally placed in the Bay and other key right whale habitat areas. FEATURES With their black bodies and absence of a dorsal fin, North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) are distinctive among baleen whales. Right whales were given their name because they were considered the right whales to hunt. [Extracted from the article]
