Why They Need Us

With fewer than 400 left, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered whales on Earth.  None die of old age.  They face life-threatening risks every day from ship strikes and entanglement in commercial fishing gear, threats we have the power to reduce.  Their survival is tied to the health of the ocean itself, and their loss would echo across entire marine ecosystems.
