FREDERICTON — The head of a wildlife protection group is calling news of a dead right whale in the Gulf of St. Lawrence devastating, saying the loss of even one of the endangered whales takes a heavy toll.
Tonya Wimmer of the Marine Animal Response Society commented today after a surveillance flight spotted a dead right whale in the gulf Tuesday.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is working with a number of agencies in an effort to track the animal and get the carcass to shore.
