⚠️Whale alert⚠️ Earlier this week, one of the first mother and calf pairs was spotted off Blackbeard Island, Georgia. Nauset, a 31-year-old mother, was seen with her fifth known calf. It’s an important time for these whales to stay safe while they welcome new calves and hope to sustain their critically endangered population. #WhaleAlert 📸 North Atlantic right whale photo: Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute, taken under NOAA permit 26919
