2011–2012 Right Whale Calving Season |
View a collection of photographs from
the 2011–2012 North Atlantic right whale
(Eubalaena glacialis) calving season. Researchers with the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) are involved in
numerous conservation efforts for this
critically endangered whale. Aerial
surveys, a main tool of researchers, are
used to detect right whales, help
prevent vessel collisions with whales,
document calves, assess distribution and
habitat use, and locate dead, injured,
and entangled whales.
FWC aerial surveys are funded by NOAA Fisheries, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Navy. Research conducted in the waters off of the southeast U.S. coast is a collaborative effort between the FWC, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Sea to Shore Alliance, NOAA Fisheries, and the New England Aquarium. FWC also partners with volunteer sighting networks along the coast of Florida.
The images in this photo set are in chronological order. The most recent images appear at the end.
