Description:The Northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) has been listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) since its passage in 1973 (originally listed as the northern right whale). Historically, right whale populations were severely depleted by commercial whaling. More recently, direct and indirect impacts from human activities -- mostly in the form of vessel collisions and entanglement in fishing gear -- have contributed to a lack of recovery.
