On December 16, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute aerial survey team spotted the 6th North Atlantic right whale mother and calf pair of this season. The pair, identified as Cascade (catalog #3157) and her new calf, was observed approximately 18 nautical miles east of Ossabaw Island, Georgia. Cascade, who is 25 years old, is now known to be the mother of four calves. The sighting is part of ongoing research efforts to monitor the critically endangered species, which numbers fewer than 400 individuals in the wild. The research was conducted under NOAA permit #26919 and received funding from both Georgia DNR and NOAA Fisheries.
