Biden administration announces USD 10 million contract for right whale-protection technology

Maine, Massachusetts to spend $27M to help threatened whales | National & World News

Maine and Massachusetts are receiving more than $27 million to enhance data collection, improve fishing gear and make other changes designed to protect a vanishing species of whale. The money is intended to aid the North Atlantic right whale, which is jeopardized by entanglement in commercial fishing gear and collisions with large ships. The population of the giant whales fell by about 25% from 2010 to 2020, and now numbers less than 360. Officials say Tuesday the largest chunk of the money is $17.2 million the Maine Department of Marine Resources has received from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to improve data collection about the whales.
