Wednesday on the Prince of Whales-Newburyport

Still lots of whales near Jeffreys Ledge! We found Hornbill (above) and Filament (below) as well as a few other humpbacks and several fin whales!


Filament has been around a bit lately, and you can see her entanglement scar in the above image. Entanglements in fishing gear is a huge threat to whales. The next time you buy seafood at a restaurant or market, be sure the seafood is sustainably and responsibly caught. Visit www.ecofish.org or www.seafoodchoices.com for more information.

Near the end of our trip, we found 3 fin whales traveling together. These whales are huge and we got some excellent looks at them!



Thanks for visiting!
