Then
we go in-depth with
Dr.
Alex Zerbini
Whale
Researcher
National Marine Mammal Laboratory
The
Right Whale is one of the most
endangered species on earth. Recent sightings in the Bering Sea of
mothers and their calves raises a particularly difficult challenge
to its survival as oil and gas leases have recently been approved
for their wintering areas. Dr. Zerbini is assisting with a
recently launched 4-year study to learn more about this most
threatened species.
