2011 Right Whales in
the Bay of Fundy Survey by New England Aquarium
At least 110 individuals were documented in 2011 in
the Bay of Fundy study. This is an increase from
2010 when only 62 individuals were identified.
However the average over 5 years of study 2005-2009 was
164 with a range of 112-188 so numbers are still on the
low side. The drop in 2010 may have been
associated with the presence in the Bay of Fundy of
6 resident Sperm Whales. To follow news of
