Brazilian waters with the highest concentration of the species lie off the state of Santa Catarina, between Ilha de Santa Catarina (Florianópolis) (27°25′S, 48°30′W) and Cabo de Santa Marta (28°36′S, 48°48′W) [5], [6] and [7]. The Southern Right Whale Environmental Preservation Area (Southern Right Whale EPA), a Federal Preservation Unit instituted in 2000, is located within this region and extends from the south of Ilha de Santa Catarina to Praia do Rincão (28°42′S, 49°16′W) [8]. Within the limits of the Southern Right Whale EPA local artisanal fishermen share their fishing waters with the southern right whale [2] and [9].
