PROVINCETOWN — The Center for Coastal Studies reports that a large cluster of endangered right whales is feeding in Cape Cod Bay.
The Provincetown-based nonprofit group reported Friday that about 100 whales are concentrated near the western shore of Cape Cod Bay and near the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal.
