Dozens of endangered right whales spotted in Cape Cod Bay
CAPE COD - On Friday, several dozen endangered North Atlantic right whales were spotted about a mile from the Cape Cod Canal.
The Massachusetts Environmental Police estimates the number between 60 to 70 right whales. That's nearly 20% of the population as scientists believe only about 350 of them are left.
The police launched vessels to patrol and protect the right whales from boat traffic.
