Meet the North Atlantic Right Whale on today's episode. Tybee Marine Science Center Educator Lindsay McGuire is back on the podcast to teach us all the "RIGHT Whale" details.

DID YOU KNOW? Georgia’s state marine mammal, the North Atlantic right whale, the most endangered large whale species on Earth.

In late November and early December, North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis), ready to calve, migrate from the cold waters of New England and Nova Scotia to the warmer Atlantic coast off Georgia and Florida. This region is the only known breeding ground for the species, where they give birth and nurture their young.

The existence of the North Atlantic right whale is perilous, with the primary causes of mortality being human-related activities such as collisions with vessels and entanglement in fishing gear.
