After seven months in northeastern waters, some North Atlantic right whales have traveled more than 1,000 miles back to the coastal waters of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.
Despite their dwindling numbers, the right whales still head south during calving season, which lasts from mid-November to mid-April.
The endangered whales have already started swimming through waters on the South Carolina and Georgia coastline.
Researchers from the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute sighted a whale and her calf five miles off the coast of Sapelo Island, Georgia. In November, another mom-calf pair were spotted by a boater north of Charleston off Cape Romain, South Carolina. Read the full story here: bit.ly/49BV3FV
