Three North Atlantic right whales have been spotted entangled in fishing gear off the coast of the U.S. just this month, according to information from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries.

Three critically endangered North Atlantic right whales have been spotted entangled in fishing gear off the United States’ eastern seaboard this month.

The sighting of this juvenile whale comes just a week after two other North Atlantic right whales were seen entangled in fishing gear off the Massachusetts coast

Through an aerial survey scanning the Atlantic waters, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has reported that two critically endangered North Atlantic right whales were spotted swimming off the coast of Massachusetts,

The two whales have been identified as a juvenile male — which authorities think will “likely to die” — and a 13-year-old female

Two North Atlantic right whales were seen entangled during a recent NOAA aerial survey 50 miles southeast of Nantucket.

An entangled and endangered North Atlantic right whale off the coast of Massachusetts is likely to die, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The endangered whales are North Atlantic right whales, which number fewer than 400 and are vulnerable to ship collisions and entanglement.

The whale spotted off North Carolina has suffered a serious injury and is likely to die as a result of the entanglement, NOAA said.

A third endangered North Atlantic right whale was found tangled in fishing gear off the East Coast last Monday, just days after two others had been recovered in critical condition near Nantucket. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found a North Atlantic right whale stuck about 60 miles east of the Outer Banks of North Carolina on Dec.
