Whale watching season on Florida’s East Coast

Whale watching season on Florida’s East Coast
December to March is when the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale migrates to the east coast of Georgia and Florida for calving. This is the only known calving area for this whale. Volunteers have been recruited & trained and are actively observing the shoreline to report sightings of mothers and calves. To report a sighting or a North American Right Whale call the hot line at 1-888-979-4253. Right Whales have been known to reach 60 feet in length and weight up to 117 tons. It is believed the whales live for about 70 years.  There was a day of watching many whales around the Flagler Beach pier January 29, 2010.
