Right Whales
There are only about 450 North Atlantic Right Whales left alive. They winter off Florida & Georgia and travel north to summer grounds off Nova Scotia & Gulf of St. Lawrence,returning south each fall.
Ship strikes are the most common killer.Fishing gear entanglement has been greatly reduced in recent years.
Please do your part by reporting sightings over VHF,etc. (Securite')

Please slow down & keep a good watch.
To do so is in all our best interests.All whales (rightfully) are highly politicized & strong reulations have been enacted(at least up North) to protect them.This includes closure of large water areas for up to 14days if one Right Whale is spotted in the area. Google "Right Whale" for further info.
