Today we went to WHOI again and this time we meet with Dr Moore. He had talked to us about right whales and the danger of the engagement in fishing lines and rope. He gave Cam and I a good understanding of rope vs line. Line is when something is being used like when fishermen’s are using long lines to catch fish, the moment that it breaks it become rope because it doesn’t have a purpose anymore. It isn’t being used for something so therefore it becomes dope rather than line. Dr Moore is afraid that the right whale population will go extinct by 2048. This is due to the fact that the number of female or cow whales are diminishing rapidly leading to no more reproduction. The female whales are to small and they’re to skinny where they won’t be matter with and there is nothing that they can do to help it. These ropes are tangling them up causing them to not be able to travel and get enough food to be able to thrive mate with males. Overall we learned so much about right whales and the ...
For today on our senior project we had gone to an oceans race event. Even though we aren’t studying sailing boats, the boats there are all doing an ocean research project. There we saw a boat that was studying micro plastics and the travel of them through the ocean. Even though they can’t necessarily stop and do some research they’re still doing all that they can to get the information that they need. The show was amazing, learning all about the research that they had done and how they were doing it. We ended the day off with some fishing where Cam was able to catch a fish called the North Atlantic Needlefish. Overall today was a great day that was beautiful and look forward to the next. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0ccKPoZpOKSyBbpRWZpkwtCTw
