Question 496Navigation General

The correct answer is B) Georgia and NE Florida. The right whale's only known calving grounds are located off the coasts of Georgia and northeast Florida. During the winter months of December through March, right whales migrate to this area to give birth and nurse their calves. Vessels navigating in these waters must maintain a sharp lookout to avoid collisions with the endangered right whales, especially during this critical calving season. The other answer choices are incorrect because Maine and Massachusetts (A) are not the right whale's calving grounds, Nova Scotia (C) is not located in the same region as the calving grounds, and California and Mexico (D) are on the opposite side of the country from the right whale's calving habitat.
