#rightwhale

At the surface, this whale is identified by its V-shaped blow. They spend time in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary but laws prohibit close approaches so whale watch vessels avoid them; if boating, please stay at least 500 yards away from the animal.

It's #FunFactFriday! #DYK that Southern Right Whales are one of three right whale species and the only one found in the Southern Hemisphere? As an endangered species they are now protected in all of their breeding grounds and there are approximately 10,000 individuals in the population. ⠀⠀ Photo by @whalewatchwesternaustralia⁠⠀ #whaletales #whales #rightwhale #whalewatching #getonaboat #trivia #whaletrivia #didyouknow #funfact #storytelling #whalesareawesome #whalewatchwa #anotherdayinwa #perth #flindersbay #whalestory #whalelove #whalephotography #whaleblog #rightwhalesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CYJ_DQtMaiA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our dedicated scientists have been helping the North Atlantic #rightwhale for decades. But did you know that the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life is also working to support another right whale species? The Marine Conservation Action Fund (MCAF) has funded #southern #rightwhale projects in #Australia, #NewZealand, #Chile, and #Argentina. #science #marinebiology #Repost of @andersoncabotcenter
