Researchers keeping a close eye on endangered Right Whales

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:50:57 GMT

A team of local researchers is keeping a close eye on the dozens of endangered Right Whales in Cape Cod Bay to keep them safe from collisions with boaters and entanglements.Sky7HD was flying over the bay on Friday and spotted a pod of dozens of whales.Also hovering over the whales was a team from the Center for Coastal Studies.Of the number of whales, Scott Landry said, “Our aerial survey team was just up recently and last I heard they were up to 40 individuals, but they still hadn’t seen the whole bay, so likely a lot more.” And with less than 340 Right Whales left, experts are keeping a close eye on the ones here. On Wednesday, a whale became entangled on hundreds of feet of fishing rope. The team removed about 200 feet of fishing gear from her entanglement, Landry said.Now the bay is being patrolled to prevent boats from getting too close or going too fast. The entangled whale will remain monitored in the hopes of being fully freed.

MIAMI — Jorge Soler’s solo home run off left-hander David Peterson in the second inning was all the Miami Marlins needed to defeat the Mets and even up the season-opening series 1-1.The Mets lost 2-1 on Friday night at LoanDepot park, failing to get the big hit they needed. Peterson (0-1) made his first start of the season and had some mixed results, allowing only one run on eight hits, walking one and striking out five over five innings. Peterson was the lucky recipient of some excellent defense behind him and also effectively pitched himself out of a few jams.Left-hander Jesus Luzardo (1-0) flummoxed the Mets through 5 2/3 innings, allowing only two hits, striking out five and walking four. Luzardo didn’t allow a base runner until the fourth inning and it looked as though the walks were going to haunt him in the sixth, but the Miami bullpen did its job to secure the win.Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered off John Curtiss to put the Mets down 2-0 in the ninth, pushing the ...
