HYANNIS – The owner of Cape Clasp, Patrick Clarke, recorded a stunning video of an endangered North Atlantic Right Whale this past weekend.
Clarke was operating his drone just off Provincetown at the time.

The whales have been returning to Cape Cod Bay in large numbers in recent weeks after spending the winter months down south off Georgia and Florida.
Experts say there are just over 400 left in the world. At lease seven new calves were spotted this year, which was good news for a species that saw over a dozen fatalities in 2017.
Clark’s company makes jewelry and other related items. They donate 15 percent of their profits to various marine and ocean life non-profits.
