2. Me neither. But tons were killed in the Gulf last summer. That was the first i had ever heard of

right whales in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. Usually you hear about them in the Bay of Fundy near Maine. I wondered last summer if they were not in new territory because of global warming. Though the Bay of Fundy is colder than the Gulf of the St Lawrence even though it is south. Lake water warms the St Lawrence river and then the gulf. Belugas are usually in the St. Lawrence. Not right whales. I've seen a Minke whale in the opening to the Halifax harbour. Never heard of right whales on that atlantic ocean side of Nova Scotia. But to get to the Gulf of the St Lawrence the right whales would have to go around NS.
