Right whales are active off SC. Speed restrictions of 10 knots apply to vessels 65 feet or greater in specific areas and times along the U.S. East Coast. It is illegal to approach right whales within 500 yards. To learn more about right whales and rules protecting them, go to: http://rightwhalessouth.nmfs.noaa.gov/
Station 41002 went adrift on 12/04/2008 and the last report from its moored position was at 1842Z. It is still transmitting valid observation data, which will continue to be reported here, but not at the location above. Click here to see the latest positions.
