Marine Animal Ship Strikes, Entanglement and Why Canada Needs a Marine Action Plan
"In the last three years we have observed 22 Right Whales’ deaths in Canada. The Right Whale is unique to whales as it floats after it dies, making it easier for researchers to find. In a way, the Right Whale is the canary in the coal mine! What is the impact to the many other marine species in our oceans from the threats of ship strikes and entanglements? For North Atlantic Right Whales, they will go extinct if we do not change our activity to help them now.” ~Sean Brillant, CWF Senior Conservation Biologist, Marine Programs
