Summary of Unusual sighting of endangered whales has scientists concerned
Scientists are concerned about the presence of nearly a quarter of the world's critically endangered North Atlantic right whales in an unusual location off the coast of Long Island, New York. The whales, which typically inhabit New England and Canadian waters, were spotted in large numbers in late July and August, with 82 observed during research flights. The New England Aquarium says the whales are likely following food, but their presence is concerning due to the lack of mandatory speed restrictions for commercial boats in the area, which increases the risk of vessel strikes and fishing gear entanglement.
