📍 Each port tells a different story.
In some places, things are improving. In others, they’re getting worse.

🎯 Fisheries management must be local and adaptive.

🔍 Why this matters:
Right whales are shifting north—driven by prey changes (Calanus spp.) linked to warming oceans.
✅ Validated via passive acoustic monitoring
✅ Aligns with NOAA, BOEM & Navy planning workflows
#ClimateImpact #EndangeredSpecies #SpatialEcology

📍 New maps show dramatic shifts in North Atlantic right whale distribution (2003–2019) 🐋
Built from MGEL’s monthly models, these maps are now live on the MARCO & Northeast Ocean Data Portals—offering fine-scale insights for ocean planning.
