The southeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence was home to nearly half of the North Atlantic right whale population this summer, i.e. about 190 individuals. This estimate was obtained using aerial surveys and photo-identification campaigns. This is likely the largest concentration of right whales for the summer, according to Jean Landry, director of marine mammal science at Fisheries and Oceans Canada.<\/p>\n

Experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) identified 135 individuals in 2018, compared to 114 in 2017. However, census efforts were more intense in 2018. Some individuals were observed only once, while others were seen throughout the two-month photo-ID campaign. The animals\u2019 movements also vary: some roamed up to 50\u00a0km in a single day while others were always photographed in the same area.<\/p>\n

Acoustic surveys detected the first right whale in late April \u2013 as was the case in 2017 \u2013 and have still been locating individuals in recent days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
