Humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae
Humpback whales communicate through their iconic “songs.” Their songs are longer and more intricate than any others in the animal kingdom.
White Marlin Kajikia albida
White marlins are among the flashier predators in the sea. Their distinctive upper jaws, known as bills, are long and sharp.
Surf Scoter Melanitta perspicillata
Surf scoters are among the flashiest sea ducks around! Their jet-black color, white patches on their heads and multi-colored beaks make them stand out.
Sea Scallop Placopecten magellanicus
Sea scallops are one of the most valuable fisheries in the United States. Sea scallops are invertebrates, meaning they don’t have backbones.
North Atlantic Right Whale Eubalaena glacialis
Weighing up to 70 tons, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the world’s largest animals.
Atlantic Cod Gadus morhua
Atlantic cod were important predators in the ocean, but their numbers have been dropping due to overfishing.
American Lobster Homarus americanus
There’s much more to lobsters than a fancy dinner entree! Lobster may be considered a high-class dinner now, but that wasn’t always the case.
