/AB	`ABSTRACT:`
	`The survival of North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) is`
	`seriously threatened by mortality caused by ships and entanglements in`
	`fishing gear. Demographic modeling indicates that the population is`
	`declining despite efforts to reduce anthropogenic mortalities, and in spite`
	`of recent increases in calving. The authors of this Policy Forum recommend`
	`immediate emergency management actions to reduce shipping and entanglement`
	`mortalities in right whales, so as to avoid a catastrophic population`
	`decline and inevitable extinction.`
