Just had an e-mail from the 2nd officer onboard a ship, with the following Navtex warning.

"U.S. Coastguard Portland, Maine.

Endangered N. Atlantic Right Whales are known to be present in the following locations:

37N 86W, etc. etc.

Note: Be advised that whales may not remain at reported locations."

They are pretty smart in the USCG rolleyes
