Whale watching

Recently in the news: a right whale, one of only 350 that remain, became entangled in fishing line off the coast of Cape Canaveral. Rescue efforts have been able to remove some of the line by sedating the endangered giant. Because our waters are part of a critical habitat zone, a network of spotters has been assembled so ships can be alerted. While navigating the waters off the Space Coast, boaters are asked to report any whale sightings to the Marine Council hotline at 888-979-4253.
