The Rice's whale is critically endangered. Florida's offshore waters are its only home.

Federal ocean regulators are considering a 10-knot speed limit in and around the Rice's whale habitat to prevent boat strikes. Florida's ports say the speed limits, and a nighttime travel ban, could hurt the industry.

This data is derived from visual sightings and tag data, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It's based on the best available data as of June 2019 and doesn't imply knowledge of habitat preferences. That means the data is subject to change.
