A North Atlantic right whale has been spotted entangled in rope off the coast of New England, worsening the situation for the vanishing species. Ship collisions and ocean warming are contributing to the threat faced by whales globally, with efforts being made to use technology to combat the issue. Marine biologists are monitoring the entangled whale about 50 miles off Rhode Island's Block Island and planning a rescue attempt.

Ship collisions threaten whale populations worldwide, killing up to 20,000 of them annually. With global ocean traffic forecast to rise by at least 240% by 2050, the problem will balloon. But a new movement is using technology to fight back https://t.co/15efzV27bF 👇

Vessels aren’t deliberately crashing into whales because the ESA and Marine Mammal Protection Act violations and fees are enough to put you out of business. And Commerce Dept refuses to use tech to track whales. *cough* ocean industrialization *cough* 🤔 https://t.co/CvARYMOdmx https://t.co/twwbuddWDk
Another offshore wind casualty? There were 82 whale deaths in 2023 and 14 so far in 2024. https://t.co/kr1mgzzEsu https://t.co/klUFBQq8Jh
