Receive Right Whale Slow Zone Notifications

Right Whale Slow Zones can occur in waters from Maine through Virginia where right whales are sighted or detected. They will last for 15 days after the detection occurs. Notifications of these zones will be sent through multiple channels.

Large vessels will receive notifications through the current right whale notification process— notification emails and U.S.Coast Guard radio announcements. 

All boaters from Maine to Virginia, or interested parties, can sign up for email or text notifications about the latest Right Whale Slow Zones.

You can also follow us on Facebook (@NOAAFisheriesNEMA) and Twitter  (@NOAAFish_GARFO)  for announcements.

You can check for Right Whale Slow Zones on our online right whale sightings map. You can also download the free Whale Alert app, which will automatically notify you when you enter one of these areas.
