They are endangered, less than 400 exist worldwide. In winter they migrate south along Florida's upper east. The mother's and their calves stay very close shore to using this area as a nursery.

Right whales can be identified with their characteristic "V" spouting. They have no dorsal fin and their pectoral fins are stubby. They also move very slowly, about 1 mph.

If they are spotted don't approach since heavy fines can be levied for molestation.
