The population of Right Whales is believed to stand just below 500 and are considered endangered. Numbers are derived from annual counts of sightings, percentage of population seen, and other criteria. Reproduction, known mortalities, and indicators from injury and entanglement reports are all pieces of the population report puzzle. There has been a recent shift in whale distribution, which has reduced the numbers of sightings and percent of the population seen annually. The biggest concern this year was very low birth numbers. Only three calves were sighted in the wintering grounds, but recently in April, a fourth individual calf was identified in Cape Cod Bay. In fact, this A newly formed alliance of organizations and individuals has come together to explore the impact of women April, researchers found more endangered Right Whales in Cape Cod from the area on its history.
