Boston Globe today has a piece on them and how they have moved from the Gulf of Main/Bay of Fundy north to the Gulf of the St Lawrence where they being hurt by ships or fishing gear. They followed food to cooler waters. They were in danger before but now they are coming into contact with ships. Saw it at the Boston Globe today but it is behind a paywall so I can't link to it or post it. There are only 400 or so of them left and only 1/4 are calving females.
