Right Whales Surge with Record Calves | Texas News
Description
A hopeful breakthrough for the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale: NOAA reports at least 22 new calves this season — the highest in over a decade. After years of alarmingly low birth rates and high mortality, scientists attribute the uptick to possible shifts in feeding grounds and migration routes, steering whales away from human activity. While this is a major win for conservationists, officials stress the species remains in grave danger due to entanglements and vessel strikes. With continued collaboration between researchers, fisheries, and maritime communities, the focus remains on protecting these vulnerable calves so they can thrive — a fragile but vital step toward recovery.
