Calf #2 has been spotted off FL! Minus One #2430 welcomed her 4th known calf and was sighted off Amelia Island. There have also been 4 potential mothers spotted down south by the aerial survey teams.
There were also 2 entangled right whales spotted off Cape Cod recently but not response was possible due to sea conditions and distance from shore.

NARW UPDATE
FIRST CALF of the 2025 calving season!
There have been 3 potential mothers spotted south and an opportunistic sighting spotted a mother/calf pair (the Icing features are not clean enough for an ID but hoping for another sighting soon).
Hoping for safe travels for these whales as they travel through high vessel traffic areas.

BB...You will be missed!!
For many years you were our wharfinger, the face that always greeted us when we returned to the harbour. And when you moved on from the wharf you always greeted me with a friendly finger wave and a huge hug! I will always look for your truck when I walk around the point, you always made me smile and I know many in St. Andrews feel exactly the same way.
We will all miss you so very much,
RIP BB,
Love Danielle and the crew of the Quoddy Link

Fin whales, a whale we certainly spend time with. Have you seen a fin whale??
Thank you to our friends at The Whalemobile 🐳🐳

Fin whales are the second largest animal on our planet. In the past decade, our sightings have been decreasing. Are there less whales or are they just not coming here? We saw this summer that whales are where the food is! With the influx of krill this summer, we saw SO MANY fin whales--our topic for the week!

Such a great fundraiser for the St. Andrews food bank. You can support the efforts from away as well through e-transfer!

It is that time of year again, already.

Time for the Lobster Trap Christmas Tree Fundraiser for the food bank.

I have had a few other items holding me up on this but now it is time to get at it. This year we will be accepting money at the pub, be it limited times of the day. 12 pm - 3 pm daily (hopefully I won't be far as I have a plate full right at this moment). You can also email me the money to [email protected] - send a pic of the buoy you want on if we have it stored for you.

We will also have new buoys here at the pub this year - $35 for the new ones, $30 if you want to sponsor an old buoy. With the price of buoys going up, it was time to put the price up of the new ones. We already have some at the pub to purchase starting Tuesday - November 19.

We are also putting up the tree on Tuesday, November 19 at 10 am...so if you are bored we would love a helping hand.

Don't call the bar, we still have no power and I won't be answering it anyways.

Here is to another great year for this fundraiser.....November 29, 2024 at 5:30 ish will be the tree lighting. Sparkle by the Sea event is running at the same time so make sure you get out and support the locals businesses that stay open for the event.

It's that time of year again and the holidays are fast approaching! Wondering whale to give that whale-loving adventurist in your family??

All purchases can be made over email or a phone call can be arranged. Please message me for more information or email Lisa at [email protected]
Cheers,
Danielle and the Quoddy Link crew

We also saw a lot more krill this season in the Bay of Fundy!
Thank You to our friends at The Whalemobile for the continuing education

We have been looking forward to this week because this summer the krill was out of this world. Different than the last THREE decades! This week, you will find out much more about how the presence of krill impacted our whales this summer!

Our hearts go out to our close friends at the Red The Herring Pub. A scary day but everyone is OK. They will be closed for a little but when they open back up lets all support Kevin and his team the same way they support our community all year round, whether it's for Bingo, Boom Boom, a Burger, Beer or Breakfast!
A huge thank you to the St. Andrews Fire Department and the others that came to help.

Happy Halloween from our friends at the Canadian Whale Institute

Happy Halloween from the CWI team!

There's no better day than today to highlight "Ghost". Ghost is an ~37 year old female North Atlantic right whale (catalog #1515). Her name comes from her ghost-shaped callosity pattern (as shown circled in red).

Calving females like Ghost are crucial to the recovery of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. Check out some more photos of Ghost, including ones with her calf, at https://rwcatalog.neaq.org/ #/whales/1515

So proud and happy for the Marine Animal Response Society. This will be so vital for all of the work that they do 🐳🐳❤️

We’re very excited to announce that we have just officially opened our new MARS Lab!

This one-of-a-kind marine animal necropsy facility will be a game changer in our efforts to study and protect marine life in the Maritimes.

A huge thanks to the many organizations and people who have helped us achieve this momentous milestone, especially Hope For Wildlife and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

We’ll be releasing more information about the MARS Lab through the week so stay tuned!
