North Atlantic right whales are dying faster than they
can reproduce. With less than 350 remaining, these great
whales rarely die of natural causes. Instead they are run
over by ships or suffer lethal injuries from fishing gear. From
the only known calving grounds to the shifting feeding
grounds, Last of the Right Whales follows the North Atlantic
right whale migration and the people committed to saving a
species still struggling to recover from centuries of hunting.
Now climate change is forcing right whales further north
in search of food, putting them on a collision course with
deadly ships and fishing gear. With unprecedented access to
film the whale migration, Last of the Right Whales brings a
message of hope about the most at risk great whale on the
planet.
