Spotted 👀 First newborn North Atlantic right whale of the year has been born! Catalog #1612 ‘Juno’ is the first right whale seen with a newborn calf (who is no more than four days old!) this winter. These whales are critically endangered so new calves are crucial to recovery.

This week, using specialized remote tools, our team and @MyFWC safely disentangled a dolphin calf in the Banana River that was first reported by a local eco-tour group. The gear was 7 ft long and consisted of over 20 strands of red braided fishing line, a sinker, and hook.

The entanglement caused significant wounds to the calf’s flukes, illustrating the dangers of fishing line to wildlife. In fact, entanglement in fishing gear is a leading cause of death for dolphins in the Banana River. Calves are especially at risk due to their curious nature.

We enjoyed seeing everyone and sharing our knowledge! Hopefully we can find solutions to preventing entanglements from ever occurring, but until then we do the best we can to help each individual.
