Summary: | Sightings of right whales, Eubalaena glacialis, in Massachusetts waters have been recorded by workers at Woods Hole Oceanographic In stitution since 1955.

Observations were made from aircraft, boats, and occasionally from shore. Prepared for the Office of Naval Research under Contract N00014-79-C-0071; NR 083-004. |
