The North Atlantic Right Whale

In honour of Canada's 150th, we present to you the North Atlantic Right Whale! These extremely rare whales spend the summer in Canadian waters. For thousands of years, whales have provided Indigenous peoples with food and tools. It was of such importance that one of the beliefs of the Mi’kmaq people is that the whale is the master of life in the sea. Once much more common, there are only about 500 of them left on Earth. We all need to work together to ensure this massive marine mammal is around for generations to come.

Very interesting video. We saw some whale's, by accident near The United Kingdom.

And in Maine waters a Right Whale has never been killed due to Maine Lobster Trap. And Only 1 has be entangled and that was in 2004. That whale was freed of the ropes and was not harmed. But in Canada they get killed by the Snow Crap lines all the time. Yet Maines lobster Industry in close to being shut down.

So sad that the numbers of NARW have declined to less than 400 since this video was produced in 2017.

That is a Lie by NOAA's on record there are over 700 of these whales too bad Canada fishermen are killing them and the true stewards of the Ocean the Maine Lobster men give a shit! Canada Sucks
