NEW: This is the first North Atlantic right whale entanglement in Canadian waters since 2019 that we know of. The @NEAQ has identified the whale as EG#4615, a five-year-old male that appears to be badly injured. A satellite tag was attached to the gear to help track @WCAI_NPR

#rightwhales are not "fine"--they are critically endangered. The solution? Cooperation.

Fishing gear entanglements cause mortality events for North Atlantic right whales & other protected species. #NOASBIR awardee Crab Raft Inc. builds line-free fishing gear to reduce entanglements and improve the ocean for whales. #oceanconservation #OceanMonthNOAA @NOAAFisheries

"A framework... that calls for reducing risks to the endangered North Atlantic right whale in federal fisheries has been criticized both by conservationists and lobstermen, though for different reasons. "

North Atlantic right whales aren't as well known as some of their other ocean compatriots (both big and small), so we thought we'd bring you another list of #whalefacts! From how long they live, to how they feed, find out more about the #NARW now:

In addition to causing severe harm and even death for some #rightwhales, entanglements in fishing gear are also causing them to shrink. Can we now just implement #ropelessgear to save these majestic mammals? https://t.co/Jf0Dwac0zB

Everyone is now finding out what we already know: whales, especially #rightwhales are amazing creatures. We need to do everything to save them! That means using #ropeless gear in our fisheries & preventing vessel strikes with stricter boating measures. Save the whales!
