Welcome back!
Hopefully you had a chance to meet four of our female right whales (that’s 1% of the population!) in our last activity. In this next activity, we will use data from the New England Aquarium to find out where these whales are sighted throughout the year.
There are various ways that scientists gather this data. In this lesson’s video, Allison Henry from NOAA shares with us one of the ways she studies right whales.
