In one Massachusetts aerial survey, NOAA team witnessed whopping 161 whales, comprising 7 species, here are pictures and details
If you are a fan of whales, you will love what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recent discovered.
According to NOAA Fisheries New England/Mid-Atlantic, on a recent aerial survey, members of their Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s North Atlantic Right Whale team saw a dazzling array of sightings—a whopping 161 whales, comprising 7 species, south of Martha’s Vineyard and southeast of Nantucket!
Highlights included seeing 93 sei whales—one of the highest concentrations of sei whales they’d ever seen during a single survey flight!
Another highlight was two killer whales, which they don’t often see during this survey.
More incredible—one of the killer whales had a tuna in its mouth!
They also saw 36 humpbacks, 21 fin whales, as well as minke, sperm, and North Atlantic right whales.
