Southern Right Whale

The
Southern Right Whale (
Eubalaena australis
) is a baleen whale, one of three species classified as the Right Whale belonging to the genus
Eubalaena
. Around 7,500 Southern Right Whales are spread throughout the southern part of the Southern Hemisphere. The Southern Right Whale, listed as "endangered" by CITES and “lower risk - conservation dependent" by the IUCN, is protected in the jurisdictional waters of all countries with known breeding populations (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa and Uruguay). In Brazil, a federal Environmental Protection Area encompassing some 1,560 km² (602 miles²,) and 130 km (80 miles) of coastline in Santa Catarina State was established in 2000 to protect the species' main breeding grounds in Brazil and promote regulated whale watching.
