A number of area environmental groups are urging residents to “eat local, not lobster,’ after the recent death of a North Atlantic right whale in coastal South Carolina waters.
That whale, an 11-year-old male named Cottontail, was found dead in February after observers first saw him in October entangled in fishing gear used in the lobster and snow crab industries, according to environmentalists. They say that since 2017, at least 47 have been killed after being hit by ships or entangled in such gear, and estimate there are fewer than 375 remaining North Atlantic right whales left on the planet and only about 100 calving females.
