Killer whales spotted swimming off Nantucket in ‘unusual’ sight in New England waters
BOSTON - New England Aquarium (NEAQ) scientists witnessed a rare sight south of Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Sunday when they spotted four killer whales, or orcas, swimming together as the researchers conducted aerial surveys.
Orla O’Brien, an associate research scientist who leads the aerial survey team for the NEAQ’s Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life, said the orca population in the North Atlantic waters is very small, and it "is always unusual to see killer whales in New England waters."
Assistant research scientist Katherine McKenna was the first of the team to spot the whales.
