We are up to 19 North Atlantic right whale mom-calf pairs this season! ☺️ 🐋 Mom #18: "Skittle" (Catalog #3260) 🐋 Mom #19: 19-year-old "Dog-Ear" (Catalog #3590) More: bit.ly/47xkqXN 📸: Clearwater Aquarium; NOAA permit #26919 #AndersonCabotCenter


Meet Philip Hamilton! Having worked with right whales since 1986, we're grateful to have his expertise as a lead on this project. Watch his interview video to learn more about him and his involvement in the project! 📽️ New England Aquarium Genome Atlantic Research Nova Scotia youtu.be/xH_AJlbVSbU?si…



North Atlantic right whale #1950, one of this year's mothers, has been found dead. Read the update from NOAA Fisheries.

On 🌏day we salute and celebrate everyone working to make a difference as we continue to invest in genomics to invest in our planet.👀 at this cool 🐋conservation project: shorturl.at/EZ357 EARTHDAY.ORG #EarthDay2024 #conservation #adaptation #mitigation
