Another email from NOAA

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Just received another email from NOAA.  Very exciting

Thank you so much Donna, we really appreciate it!  We directed an aerial survey over that location today based on your report and we found seven right whales in that vicinity, all of which we were able to photo document for research purposes.

 

Thanks again!

 

Received an email from NOAA regarding the Right Whale off of Magnolia

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Yesterday I received a survey email from NOAA asking about the whale that I saw off of Shore Road and Rafe’s Chasm.  They saw the information of Good Morning Gloucester.  Sent NOAA the grainy photos, wish they were better but with the rain and wind it was not easy to get a decent photo.  Also sent them the times of the sightings.  Today I received the email below.  We are lucky to have Ocean Alliance right here in Gloucester and Iain Kerr came over.  https://www.whale.org/

Mariners are urged to use caution and proceed at safe speeds in areas used by right whales. Federal law prohibits operating vessels 65 feet or greater in excess of 10 knots in certain areas and times along the US east coast. Approaching right whales closer than 500 yards is a violation of federal and state law.

This was a great cleanup.  So many volunteers that came out today.  I also want to thank Mom’s Kitchen for offering something to drink if you were volunteering.  The volunteers were numerous and dedicated to cleaning up our beautiful city.  Thank you to all the volunteers and the One Ocean One Love for the after cleanup cookout,  Cape Ann Sup, Ocean Alliance, WeCann, Gloucester Clean City Commission, Coast Guard and the One Our at a Time Gang for all your great work.  Would also like to thank Mother Nature for a beautiful day.

How the ocean can change

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

A couple of weeks ago from Rafe’s Chasm the ocean’s wave and fury were roaring, one of the many things I love about the ocean is how it is forever changing.  The other day it was calm and so blue.
