Another entangled North Atlantic Right Whale has been spotted in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
A Fisheries and Oceans Canada surveillance aircraft spotted the whale yesterday about 90 kilometers north-east of the Magdalen Islands but it's not known when officials will be able to take any action.
the DFO says in a release that due to the remote location of the whale, it will be assessing the options for disentanglement with its partners.
It's the fourth North Atlantic Right Whale to be found entangled in Canadian waters so far this year.
