Check out the Web-site htttp:www.cbc.ca/maritimenoon . Today Costas interviewed Monica Zani (pronounced zah-nee) of the New England Aquarium, about a recently published article documenting a very exciting and unique sighting three years ago (date?) off the coast of Georgia and Florida, where overflights during the winter detect presences of right whales and warn ships/boats to avoid specific areas of sightings. On the Web-site find the link to the photos and interview for details. Very interesting and important conservation work. The right whale's mother's name is Catspaw/Cat's-paw and I think I heard that the young male calf's name is Resolution -- he is now 3 years old and was seen several times in 2007 in the Bay of Fundy, and Cat's-paw had another calf in 2007 -- I think Resolution was her first or second calf. Right whales are all photographed and their distinctive patterns of whitish callosities on the heads allow individual recognition and the giving of numbers and names in the Right Whale Catalogue that is administered by the New England Aquarium? The info' on the Web-site indicates lots of info' on Right Whales, including the Right Whale Listening Network of Cornell Universiy. Check it out -- cheers from Jim in Wolfville
