James Brady+FollowBoston whale’s epic journey stuns researchersA critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, with only about 384 left, was spotted off Boston—then identified as the same one seen near Ireland earlier this year! This rare transatlantic journey is a huge deal for scientists, showing just how far these whales travel and how vital it is to protect them across borders. Right whales face serious threats from fishing gear and ship strikes, but their survival is key for healthy oceans. What do you think: Are we doing enough to protect these incredible creatures and our marine ecosystems? #Science #Boston #RightWhale00Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowRight whale calf brings hope to Sullivan’s IslandA North Atlantic right whale calf was just spotted off Sullivan’s Island—only the fifth one this season! With fewer than 70 reproducing females left, every new calf is a big deal for this critically endangered species. Local waters are vital for their survival, but these whales face threats like boat strikes, tangled fishing gear, and shifting food sources due to climate change. Protecting them means keeping our beaches clean, giving them space, and reporting stranded whales. What more can we do as a community to help these gentle giants thrive? #Science #SullivansIsland #RightWhale00Share
Wesley Romero+FollowRight Whale Division’s Scary EntanglementNorth Atlantic right whale “Division” was spotted off Georgia with fishing lines wrapped around his head and mouth—yikes. Rescuers managed to remove some gear, but Division’s health is tanking and his survival is up in the air. Whale experts say entanglements like this are sadly common and deadly for these endangered giants. Fingers crossed Division pulls through, but this is a harsh reminder of what ocean wildlife faces every day. #Pets #RightWhale #OceanConservation41Share
Michael Flores+FollowWhale Goes on Epic Atlantic Road TripA North Atlantic right whale just pulled off a wild 3,000-mile journey from Ireland to Boston! Researchers spotted the same whale off both coasts, which is super rare. This is the first time a right whale was first seen in the eastern Atlantic and then popped up in the west. Scientists say this shows these whales are still exploring old habitats—and it’s a big reminder of how important it is for countries to work together to protect them. #Science #RightWhale #OceanLife110Share
