WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The official population estimate of 340 individuals released today by the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, underscores the continued vulnerability of this critically endangered species. Additional actions by governments, industry, conservation groups and other stakeholders are needed swiftly to pull the species back from the brink of extinction. The new population estimate indicates the species is still heading in the wrong direction. A separate recent study also suggests that just 72 reproductive females remain, a demographic that is essential to the recovery of this dwindling population.

Key Points: 
  • A separate recent study also suggests that just 72 reproductive females remain, a demographic that is essential to the recovery of this dwindling population.
  • Vessel strikes and entanglement in fishing gear continue to be the primary causes of death and injuries to right whales.
  • Earlier this month, NOAA officially added 36 whales with moderate and severe (sub-lethal) injuries to the UME, alongside the previously included 34 dead and 21 seriously (lethally) injured whales.
  • Now a total of 91 individual right whales are included in the UME, which represents approximately 27% of the current population estimate.
