Assessing North Atlantic right whale health: threats, and development of tools critical for conservation of the species

Michael J. Moore et al.

Summary: Whaling activities have severely affected North Atlantic right whales and Southern right whales, with a need to expand measures to reduce trauma. Further research is necessary to evaluate the impact of other stressors on the reproductive success and health of right whales, and the development of new health assessment tools is essential to monitor the effectiveness of management measures.

Decreasing body lengths in North Atlantic right whales

Joshua D. Stewart et al.

Summary: Whales are now largely protected from direct harvest, but still face threats from human activities such as vessel strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. Climate-driven changes are affecting their foraging grounds, leading to direct mortality. The study found that entanglements in fishing gear are associated with shorter whales and have negative impacts on their reproductive success, posing a threat to vulnerable populations in their recovery efforts.

OCEAN REGIME SHIFT IS DRIVING COLLAPSE OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE POPULATION

Erin L. Meyer-Gutbrod et al.

Summary: Ocean warming, attributed to anthropogenic climate change, is affecting the ecology of marine species worldwide. In the Northwest Atlantic, climate-driven changes in ocean circulation have altered the foraging environment and habitat use of North Atlantic right whales, resulting in decreased population calving rates and increased mortality risks.

Residency, demographics, and movement patterns of North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis in an offshore wind energy development area in southern New England, USA

E. Quintana-Rizzo et al.

Summary: Offshore wind energy development is rapidly increasing globally. In the southern New England region of the USA, a large commercial offshore wind energy farm is being established, which is also a critical habitat for the North Atlantic right whale. Research shows an increase in right whale presence in the area, with peak sightings between late winter and spring. It is important to implement mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts on right whales from construction noise and vessel traffic.
