The federal government just announced it's expanding protected habitat for endangered North Atlantic right whales along the Atlantic Coast. It's the latest attempt to protect these gentle creatures, which were almost hunted to extinction by the early 20th Century. For several years, spotter planes have flown off the coasts of Florida and Georgia - to alert boaters to steer clear of them. WUSF's Steve Newborn recently flew with a Florida-based crew off Georgia's coast to help protect the most endangered of all whales.
