Awesome story here!

@TJZorotrian You are raising a wonderful little human! And yes, we agree they are the right whale to save!

[Gina Lonati, PhD @eubalaenagina]

Time to get active on social media again - it’s officially #rightwhale calving season!! Congrats to mom “Juno”!

Meet Scout, a lightweight GPS-enabled buoy that responders attach to entangled whales to track them via satellite. https://t.co/ZDjkkTRTJ5

BIG news, whale lovers...#GivingTuesday is almost here and we’re highlighting some of our conservation work with @nature_org

@JacobLevenson Depends on how much tissue is left on skeleton and soil conditions, but @MklJMoore would have a good estimate.

We were pleased to have been part of the research team that provided drone footage for this documentary. It is a difficult, but touching, story to watch.

Every fall, pregnant North Atlantic right whales swim 1,300 miles south to give birth.

Meet Snow Cone—a first-time mother—and her calf.

This should be a great workshop!

[Arribada Initiative @arribada_i]

We're hosting a workshop with the @GOSHCommunity to discuss open hardware & science in marine conservation policy to mitigate bycatch

Join us for Making Waves: Open Hardware as a Solution to Scaling up Bycatch Mitigation, 15:00 BST July 31st https://t.co/Y8bJdOaSHU @WILDLABSNET

Hopeful news for the Cook Inlet beluga #whales! @NOAAFisheries has published new abundance estimate and the trend may be increasing! More at https://t.co/pEQ5z0e9Yb #CIBW

[Hubbs Marine Mammal Research & Rescue @Hubbs_MMRR]

This week, using specialized remote tools, our team and @MyFWC safely disentangled a dolphin calf in the Banana River that was first reported by a local eco-tour group. The gear was 7 ft long and consisted of over 20 strands of red braided fishing line, a sinker, and hook.

[Hubbs Marine Mammal Research & Rescue @Hubbs_MMRR]

The entanglement caused significant wounds to the calf’s flukes, illustrating the dangers of fishing line to wildlife. In fact, entanglement in fishing gear is a leading cause of death for dolphins in the Banana River. Calves are especially at risk due to their curious nature.

[Hubbs Marine Mammal Research & Rescue @Hubbs_MMRR]

We will continue to monitor the calf ("Baldwin") to be sure no gear remains. We're so thankful to our partners & members of the community who supported these efforts: Wildside Tours, Cocoa Beach Dolphin Tours, @MyFWC @NOAAFisheriesSE @SeaWorld @HarborBranch @BluWrldResearch

[Blue World Research Institute @BluWrldResearch]

We enjoyed seeing everyone and sharing our knowledge! Hopefully we can find solutions to preventing entanglements from ever occurring, but until then we do the best we can to help each individual.

[Hubbs Marine Mammal Research & Rescue @Hubbs_MMRR]

Yesterday we hosted a disentanglement workshop! Thank you, Jamie,@BluWrldResearch for leading & sharing expertise! Together we can develop strategies to address this growing risk to whales & dolphins.@NOAAFish_SERO @MyFWC @CountyofVolusia @HarborBranch @dolphinsarasota @UFVetMed
