Have you ever wondered what it's like for our researchers to go out in the ocean and look for #NorthAtlanticRightWhales?

Tomorrow, @CenterOceanLife NEAQ Right Whale Research Scientist Kelsey is taking over our Instagram to take you on a research cruise!

Join us tomorrow!

We are disappointed that federal regulations aimed to protect North Atlantic right whales are lacking more aggressive measures that are crucial to saving this critically endangered species, which numbers approx. 350 individuals.
