The right whale, an endangered species in the Atlantic Ocean, has a total population in the low hundreds. While no longer a target of whaling, right whales are still threatened from being struck by ships and becoming entangled in fishing gear. The seventh annual Right Whale Festival increases awareness of these docile creatures, now calving off the coast of Northeast Florida and Georgia, and features a 5K race/2.5K fun run, live music, cool stuff to buy, speakers and information displays, silent auction and food trucks.
