Coastal boaters: please be on the lookout for an injured right whale calf. The calf has wounds on its head consistent with being hit by a boat propeller. Anglers fishing off South Carolina’s South Edisto River inlet first saw the injured calf with its mother on 01/03.

Boaters should report sightings of the calf and other right whales at 877-WHALE-HELP (877-942-5343) or via the U.S. Coast Guard on marine VHF channel 16. Please provide time, location and sighting details. Observe right whales only from a distance: stay at least 500 yards away.

This erratic behavior is the result of nervous system impairment resulting from inflammation of the brain. Affected fish may become lethargic and swim slowly near the edge of the pond, or they may hang in the water column with the head up and tail down.

Various management practices can reduce the incidence and severity of ESC outbreaks. These include reducing stress, managing water quality, practicing biosecurity in the hatchery, using proper nutrition and feeding practices, and administering drugs and chemicals appropriately.
