On the Cover. Right whale calf of the 2020–2021
calving season and mother. The right whale popu-
lation has exhibited an unusually high mortality rate
since 2017, cumulatively losing an unprecedented
number of adult whales to ship strikes and fishing
gear entanglement. Today, it is estimated that there
are fewer than 360 right whales remaining globally.
