Have you ever heard a whale sing? Groan or click? They DO! And thanks to special equipment on board Song of the Whale, our team is using sound to track Noth Atlantic right whales in pioneering new ways. Head to our blog to hear them for yourself. g.ifaw.org/3MhkumC

Scientists have called large whales “ecosystem engineers.” Research has shown that whales cycle nutrients in the ocean, help create the oxygen we breathe, and play a critical role in mitigating greenhouse gases. Not only breathtaking, whales are also breath-giving.

So delighted to be heading offshore with the Song of the Whale crew again!
Hoping for North Atlantic right whales, but I’ll be content with some good star gazing and a couple days away from my computer

The 11th mom/calf pair of the season: "Pediddle" + her new calf!
Pediddle was seen with her ninth known calf. She now has the honor of sharing the longest calving history with two other #NorthAtlanticRightWhales!

Responders were unable to remove a short segment of rope passing through the whale’s mouth, but the whale should be able to shed the remaining rope on his own in time. This whale, known as No. 3812, or ‘Nimbus,’ is a 15 YO male named for the cloud-like scars on his lips.

The 12th North Atlantic Right Whale calf of the season was spotted off our coast on Jan. 20 by @MyFWC, but this was quickly shadowed by another whale entangled in fishing rope. We decided to step in.

Where are the right whales? Here, WhaleMap shows locations of visual and acoustic observations between November 22nd - December 4th! Looks like someone has shown up in the winter calving grounds 🤗

We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, who supported our science and conservation work for many years. From launching conservation initiatives, to supporting us with work in wildlife health, her passion for animals will always be remembered.

Proud to announce the publication of a new open access paper on the historical occurrence of #whales (and #whaling) in Scotland. Many years in the making with @susa_scoter, @denrisch, Russell Leaper and Cherry Allison @iwc_int.

Good to hear Sir David Attenborough remind us when @UNEP named him 'Champion of the Earth' that we can turn things around, citing rebounding #whale populations after the IWC ban. Back the, we didn't know the #savethewhale campaign was also helping the climate! #RiseUp4TheOcean
