The North Atlantic right whale, which can weigh up to 150,000 pounds (68,039 kilograms) and lives off the East Coast, plummeted in population in the 2010s. The critically endangered whales, which are stressed by global warming and vulnerable to ship collisions and entanglement in fishing gear, fell to fewer than 360 individuals by the early 2020s.
The first North Atlantic right whale of the 2024-2025 calving season was spotted recently, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute has reported. A female whale nicknamed "Black Heart ...
However, based on data from other whale species, only 5-17% of strikes are detected, so the total number may be higher.
