This photograph provided by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources shows an endangered North Atlantic right whale entangled in fishing rope being sighted with a newborn calf on Dec. 2, 2021, in waters near Cumberland Island, Ga. A federal circuit court has reinstated a ban on lobster fishing gear in a nearly 1,000-square-mile area off New England on Wednesday July 13, 2022 to try to protect endangered whales. The National Marine Fisheries Service issued new regulations last year that prohibited lobster fishing with vertical buoy lines in part of the fall and winter in the area. The ruling was intended to prevent North Atlantic right whales, which number less than 340, from becoming entangled. (Georgia Department of Natural Resources/NOAA Permit #20556 via AP)
