By Cynde McInnis, Year of the Right Whale Project Co-Coordinator
In a previous activity, we looked at where female right whales move. Today we are going to look at where a couple males are sighted and see if they are the same or different.
Download the Activity (PDF)Once you have finished the activity, we want you to think about what we can do with this knowledge. For 40 years we have been tracking the movements of whales. What kind of conservation efforts can be initiated knowing where the whales are sighted. Try taking a look online and see if you can find anything related to entanglements or vessel strikes.
Click below to find out some of the areas that are protected at certain times of the year based on these (and many more) sightings! These areas are called Seasonal Management Areas (SMAs).
