NPR - Around 370 North Atlantic right whales remain. Conservationists are focused on improving monitoring efforts for this highly endangered species. Whale surveys are essential for identifying and cataloging each right whale calf that is born. One effective tool used in these surveys is passive acoustic detection, which enables researchers to listen to whales underwater. Unfortunately, human activities are the primary threat to right whales. One of the main dangers is collisions with boats.
