Alphama333, Oh, whatever. Fish is not for us to eat and it is loaded with mercury nowdays, anyways. We can always eat something else and keep the ecosystem stable.

Give 'em about 20 or 30 years and they'll no longer be on the endangered species act. Then, the goverment will issue a bounty on the whales due to too many of 'em in the waters and eating our fish supplies. They'll be back down to a few whales then. Just like those gray wolves in the pacific northwest.

What a bunch of ignorant people on here....the Right Whale is the issue here people.....not literacy, although some ought to open up the dictionary before engaging their fingers to type.

This is great news. Reproductive rates for great whales are generally low and if ever a species was on the brink of oblivion it was the right whales. Twenty five or so years ago I saw my first one from the beach at Ponce Inlet and we would occassionally spot them during the winter months when we were fishing between Daytona and Cape Canaveral. I hope the calves all grow up to increase the odds this species continued existence.

At least not from your post which reads as if it were written by an illiterate ten year old"...............Park, some of these folks are really giving this science stuff a try and making a genuine effort to crawl out from under the rock. Sometimes its better to look for this than it is pounding away at the details of how they sound. KLarryTX is spot-on with this on -----------Your right of course. I guess my point was that it's little rich to come on the boards and berate people for ignorance when you haven't even bothered to learn how to write English. To be honest I think I misunderstood Larry's post, partly because it WAS so badly written.
