Second death - despite the double digit calves being born to the North Atlantic right whale this season, even one death is one too many #narw #whaleconservation

North Atlantic right whale calf update: we’re at 20!!! #narw #cetaceannews #finallygoodnews
Two critically endangered North Atlantic right whales have migrated to the Southeast USA.
Please remember to call the hotline if you think you may be seeing a whale. Your call may be the one thing that prevents a vessel (boat) strike.

@michaelmann.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social — @POTUS ❤️ whales? #ME lobster industry aims to end protections for North Atlantic right whales—the rarest whales of New England, with less than 360 individuals—while their #lobster gear is entangling whales who die a slow agonizing death. #NArw
Again and again, well-intentioned experts in the government suggested clear answers and were immediately shut down by more senior — and more political — staff trying to cover for the government, which had cut funding for the program.

Happy to announce our new article in @marinemammalogy.bsky.social on finding #rightwhales in satellite imagery using machine learning. Great collaboration with academia, industry, and conservation @cwf-fcf.bsky.social. #whalesfromspace #NARW

Excited to announce the launch of a new homepage for passive acoustics monitoring at NOAA Fisheries. This is just the start of something big! #bioacoustics #NARW
The same method of training neural networks to identify the North Atlantic right whale is also used in Haikuboxes (made & sold by Loggerhead Instruments) to identify birds! 🦅 #bioacoustics #NARW #conservationbioacoustics 🤩
Yikes - imagine so few of a species that only *eleven* babies are born a year. That's where we are with the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. There are only about 100 breeding females of the whole species. They are getting hit by speeding ships and entangled in fishing ropes. #NARW 🌏
Une très belle nouvelle! Monarch la baleine noire de l'Atlantique Nord a eu son premier veau et a été observée dans la baie de Cape Cod pendant le relevé aérien du Center for Coastal Studies.

This is *below* the 10-year average of 12 calves/year

That. RIGHT there.
This is my attempt at a selfie from the beaches of #provincetown of surface feeding North Atlantic #RightWhales just 2 miles from my apartment.

Students watching last of the right whales. Immediately at the front of the photo is a light turquoise yeti of coffee and a pile of tissues
A large box of Timbits on top or a large box of tissues!
Movie Day in class today aka Timbits & Tissues. We aired Last Of The Right Whales as part of the conservation conversation. Sharing work done across the North Atlantic, by our lab & our many brilliant colleagues trying to save the North Atlantic right whale. #Whales #Conservation #NARW #Teaching 🐋 🌎
Two of only 70 reproductive females remaining on earth!
They are North Atlantic right whales and potential mothers.
Let’s keep them safe while in Florida by slowing our boats down and keeping a lookout.
No dorsal = easy to hit.

screen grab of the last paragraph of the journal article (link in skeet)
Sharing my appreciation for the VERY CLEAR statement from the authors INSIDE THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE of the POLICY IMPLICATIONS of their science. #NARW #fisheries #bycatch

"At this very moment, NOAA’s proposal including science-based recommendations to update the existing vessel speed rule is sitting on Secretary Raimondo’s desk gathering dust." #NARW

ANOTHER.
(I give no kudos to NOAA as I am presently mad at them for not pushing mandatory slow zones and other #NARW things)

“NOAA Fisheries has concluded that the rope is consistent with the rope used in Maine state water trap/pot buoy lines.”
