New mitigation tool in place for North Atlantic Right Whales, if they are sighted consistently for 15 days in the same grid cells, the area will be closed until the end of the season.

Results of last year's humpback whale season: Record year! 129 individuals, 108 known, 21 new ones. 14 calves, not all IDed. Many first time cows, including Hockey (pic) with first 4th generation calf. Again some animals from the Gulf of Main. @BaleineMagazine@AShields_Devoir
Blue whale roams the ocean. The #NARW flight crew of @NOAAFish_NEFSC identified 2 blue whales on Oct. 13th, 2019 in the southern Gulf of St Lawrence, one of them, B353. It was re-sighted off Georges Bank (Gilbert Canyon) on Feb. 9th, 2020 by the @NEAQ@CenterOceanLife flight crew
Hard to tell entanglement rates if we can't see. Drones are giving us a new view of fin and blue whales. Turns out they get entangled a lot. @RampChristian at #WMMC19@MICScanada
2nd poster session at @wmmc2019 this morning. @Joanna_Kershaw presenting her results with @MICScanada and @_SMRU_ on annual variations in calving rate linked to prey
MICS is well represented at the World Marine Mammal Conference in Barcelona, w/ many team members and collaborators with talks and posters!

Lots of interesting talks at @wmmc19 Here one with @MICScanada data on ship strike risk of blue and right whales in the Gulf of St Lawrence by Meg Carr
Ouch! Only! 409! North Atlantic Right Whales left! Clearly, our way to live on that planet is not sustainable! AT! ALL!

#bluewhale@MICScanada summary 3/4 of season. 40-50 blue whales so far, slowly moving along Gaspe peninsula towards Estuary. After baby boom 2018, no calves so far. Seen: #CrinkleMICS#SpirouMICS#InvasorMICS Video is B200 (BUCK) off Anticosti
#Finwhale news after 3/4 of season. Many animals, but widely dispersed over the Gulf from Miscou over Gaspe, the Estuary, Sept-Iles and off Anticosti. With 6 cow and calf pairs, an average year. Some very regular ones like #CurlyMICS#RamsesMICS#StratumMICS@MICScanada

While @MICScanada is studying the entanglement rate in rorqual whales, we shoot sometimes some nice interactions, here with Dune (F252) and her calf and a male escort (F175). Starts to be a bit late for calves, they are usually weaned by now. @BaleineMagazine
Un collaborateur du @MICScanada, René Roy, a photographié récemment cette rarissime tortue luth, au large de Cap-des-Rosiers. L'espèce, en voie de disparition, est la plus grosse tortue au monde (plus de 900 livres) et elle évolue depuis plus de 100 millions d'années.
Third right whale sighting, same guys as 2 weeks ago. In the mandatory traffic separation scheme!!! Their main food is often found in the deep channels, which is also used for shipping. At least 4 died due to ship strikes this year alone.
