Visit our Program webpage for current information about
the North Atlantic Right Whale Program.


The Marine Resources Council's Right Whale Monitoring Program was established in 1995 to reduce human impacts to the endangered North Atlantic right whale. Citizens on the east coast of Florida report land‑based sightings of right whales to our hotline (1‑888‑97‑WHALE). This information is passed on to local ship traffic to avoid ship strikes, which account for over one‑third of documented right whale deaths in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Right Whale Shirts!!! Pre-Order Now!

MRC is taking pre-orders for new shirts for the Right Whale Festival in Jacksonville Beach on November, 17th.  If you'd like to order one and make sure you get the size you want, please let us know!  Most shirts will be the blue you see here available in youth and adult sizes, short sleeve and long sleeve (adult only).  We will likely get some v-neck, lime green shirts for the ladies as well.  The text below the whale calf reads "North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis)."  Youth and adult short-sleeve tees are yours with a $15 donation to the MRC whale program.  Long-sleeve shirts are our gift to you for a $20 donation.  Just email MRC at whales@mrcirl.org with your request and donations can be made in person or mailed to the Marine Resources Council, 3275 Dixie Hwy. NE, Palm Bay, FL,  32905.  You may also donate via PayPal on our website at www.mrcirl.org.  Scroll down to the bottom right of the home page where it says "Donate Now Through PayPal."   Please include your T-shirt size, color, and sleeve-length preference in the message box labeled "add special instruction to seller" before you send your donation.   If you are unable to pick up your shirt at our office or at the Right Whale Festival, please add $5 shipping per shirt to your donation.
