Endangered right whales: Commerce vs extinction

Each one is so rare that it is named, coded, filmed, and catalogued by the New England Aquarium and monitored as it feeds, breeds and calves up and down the Atlantic seabord from the Gulf of Maine to Florida. What is to be done? The answer is high tech ropeless fishing for lobster boats.
