Scientists, government officials and conservationists are calling for a swift response to protect North Atlantic right whales after a half-dozen died in the past month.
A half-dozen North Atlantic right whales have died in the past month, leading scientists, government officials and conservationists to call for a swift response to protect the endangered species.
"If we're going to have deaths, they just can't be female," Hamilton said, adding the population is down to only about 100 reproductive females."We need a different system." "Animals like whales that have to figure out where their food is, they have to figure out a new environment as they go," Record said."You can almost think of the whales like climate migration."
Fisheries and Oceans Canada said Tuesday that the necropsy of the sixth whale, which was named Clipper, was completed in Quebec, and that the animal's death appeared consistent with blunt trauma from a vessel strike.
