Right Whales are an endangered species and large tracts of N. American east coast are special areas where vessels either have to avoid or post extra lookouts and report all sightings of or collisions with, these whales. Apparently being struck by vessels is one of the most common occurrence of injury/death to these whales, something I am sure non of us would want to happen to these magnificent creatures. But hang on, now its those noisey Yanks causing damage to them with their blasting car horns, loud talk, gangsta rap music etc. etc.
