ANOTHER SAD SIGN OF THE TIMES

The news that North American right whales -- considered to be the second-most endangered marine mammal in the world -- have been migrating further north into Canada in just the past two years because of a shift in their traditional feeding grounds that has been brought about by warming waters in the eastern part of the Gulf of Maine is yet another indication of the direct and indirect consequences of climate change and global warm- ing. The situation is this: Water temperatures in the eastern Gulf of Maine have warmed more than just about any body of water on the planet thanks to a shift in ocean current patterns that have been caused by the loss of sea ice in the Arctic. As a result of the warmer water temperatures in the eastern Gulf, the population of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus, a tiny flealike creature that hibernates in deep water over the win- ter and comes to the surface in the summer, where it then be- comes food for the right whales (who scoop them up by the mil- lions with their sieve-like baleen), has declined by 90 percent. This has forced the right whales to move further north into the St. Lawrence Seaway in pursuit of the copepods. However, unlike in the Gulf of Maine, where regulations have been in effect for decades to protect the right whales from ship-strikes and the effects of lobster and fishing gear, no simi- lar regulations existed in the St. Lawrence Seaway until just this past year -- but only after more right whales were killed in 2017 Guest Op-Ed than in any previous year by ships and netting.
