Help Save the Bay of Fundy Whales

Thirty to fifty of the world’s remaining North Atlantic right whales are in mortal danger. Lobster season has begun in the Bay of Fundy, and the whales which have usually left the area by this time of year are in grave danger of becoming ensnared in fishing gear and dying.

With only about 350 North Atlantic right whales left on the planet, even the loss of one of these gentle giants is too many.

Fill out the form here to send a message to Canadian Minister of Fisheries Loyola Hearn urging him to delay opening the fishing grounds until the right whales have left the area.
