"Endangered Right Whale Entangled off New England Coast Sparks Rescue Effort"

A North Atlantic right whale has been spotted entangled in rope off the coast of New England, adding to the challenges faced by the already endangered species. With less than 360 of these whales remaining, entanglement in fishing gear and collisions with ships pose significant threats. Efforts to rescue the entangled whale have been hindered by its distant location, highlighting the urgent need for stronger protections and regulations to prevent further harm to these majestic creatures, whose population has been slow to recover from the impacts of commercial whaling and now faces additional risks due to climate change.
