North Atlantic Right Whales
Make a Difference!
North Atlantic Right whales are some of one of the most endangered whales in the world. These slow swimming baleen whales almost went extinct in the 1750’s when whalers targeting them for their oil. Now, two of the biggest threats are entanglement in fishing gear and boat strikes. With only 356 estimated to be alive today, scientists believe North Atlantic Right Whales may be extinct within the next 20 years!
NOAA Fisheries now requires all vessels to stay 500 yards away from Right Whales (roughly the length of five football fields). The Center of Coastal Studies in Provincetown, Massachusetts, provides aerial surveys of the ocean to warn boaters when Right Whales are in the area. They also provide whale watching tours from land, where the public can view these beautiful animals without disturbing their habitat.
If you see any vessel approaching a Right Whale, please call the NOAA Fisheries Enforcement Hotline at (800) 853-1964. You can also visit the Center for Coastal Studies for more information on their Right Whale Emergency Initiative.

Noise, pollution and boat traffic all have a negative effect on marine life. We support Whale Watching companies who put the health and safety of whales first.
