marineland right whale project

The Marineland Right Whale Project is committed to the protection of the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. From November through March, these whales migrate to the coastal waters of the southeast U.S. to give birth and nurture their young. Our team of dedicated scientists and volunteers collaborates to ensure the conservation and stewardship of these majestic creatures.​
