Please join us for our free virtual webinar on January 26th and learn more about whale populations and whale data in the summer of 2026
Did you know several species of whales feed, breed, and migrate throughout New York’s waters each year? Join us to learn more about these remarkable marine animals and the threats these magnificent mammals face off our coast.
This unique virtual forum will feature whale experts that have decades of experience in tracking individual whales, conducting necropsies on deceased whales, and monitoring emerging threats to whales and other marine mammals.
In 2016 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) declared an Unusual Mortality Event for Humpback whales, Minke Whales, and North Atlantic Right Whales. These endangered species are highly vulnerable to ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, plastic pollution and climate change. Scientists are closely monitoring whale populations while advancing solutions to better safeguard these important marine animals.
