Rockford, Illinois – an international advocacy group has expressed both disappointment and cautious optimism as protection measures for Canada’s North American right whale have been unchanged since last year.
background:
- Population Crisis: North Atlantic Right Whale’s population is seriously in danger, with only 356 individuals to live worldwide.
- Breeding challenges: Of these, there are about 70 breeding women, and last year only 19 calves were seen. Unfortunately, it is believed that three of those calves were not alive.
Canada maintains the status quo on North Atlantic Right Whale Security
Current Safety Measures:
- Fishing gear restrictions: Fisheries and oceans Canada implemented measures to restrict fishing gear and activities where the right whale has been observed for a specific time period.
- Extended closure: If the whale is seen nine to 15 days after the closure of the fishing area, it is closed.
- Preventive monitoring: Before opening the fishing season, monitoring ensures that no correct whales exist.
- Consistency with 2023 guidelines: 2024 Conservation Guidelines mirror the previous year who maintain the same seven additional measures.
Ocean calls for further action:
- Whale-Saf Gear Strategy: Ocean Canada advocates for a national strategy focused on a whale-safe gear. This involves adopting ropless fishing gear to prevent complication, a significant threat to whale survival.
- Ghost Gear Challenge: Whales keep getting entangled in Canadian gear, including ghost gear – swimming independently in the sea or separate fishing gear.
Hope for recovery:
- Despite the challenges, this royal species are expected to recover. Strong security measures are important to ensure the existence of the North Atlantic right whale.
Let us collectively work towards a future where these magnificent creatures thrive in our oceans.
