Right whale Anthropogenic Event case studies
Case studies are consolidated two-page summary reports for whales entangled with attached gear or those with vessel strike injuries. Each case study provides a clear visual depiction of the entangling gear configuration or vessel strike injury using a drawing, details about the life history of each individual including sex, age when detected with the human impact, reproductive status, and, for entanglements, the minimum and maximum durations when gear was known or estimated to be attached. Additional information related to the injury event, including rope parameters, gear type/configuration, injury severity, and vessel size estimates, is provided on the first page of each case study when available. The second page of the case study includes a suite of photographs showing the entanglement or vessel strike injuries.

Vessel Strike Case Studies
Vessel strike case studies are organized by decade in the PDFs below. Vessel strike events with case studies are indexed in the table below. Cases can be searched and/or columns sorted to determine which PDF contains the case study of interest.
