Researchers from the Marine Animal Response Society examine one of the dead right whales.
The whales were all found in the area between New Brunswick's Miscou Island, Quebec's Magdalen Islands and northern P.E.I.
While there have been sightings of dead right whales in the area before, Tonya Wimmer, a marine biologist and the director of Marine Animal Response Society, said it's on a different scale this time around. The charitable organization is dedicated to rescue and study of marine animals.
"It's a bit of an unprecedented event in that we've never had an incident like this involving right whales where so many animals have been turning up dead just over the last few weeks," said Wimmer.

The pupils were said to be playing when the dog attacked Bismark Adzie and inflicted serious injuries on him.
Some brave onlookers went to the aid of the victim, but he died hours later at the Kwesimintsim Hospital due to the deep wounds inflicted on him by the dog.
Dog owner's residence
The owner of the dog, whose house shares a wall with the school, is said to have suffered several robbery attacks since he moved to New Amanful in the Ahanta West District in the Western Region.
According to the police, in order to protect himself and his property, the owner of the dog bought large breed of dogs, typically used as guard dogs.

James Fredrick credits his friend Alex Ippoliti for saving his life when a brown bear attacked him Saturday morning as the two biked on a gravel road on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
James Fredrick credits his friend Alex Ippoliti for saving his life when a brown bear attacked him Saturday morning as the two biked on a gravel road on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
The two friends were already hyper-aware after two fatal, predatory black bear attacks last week that have set Alaskans on edge.
"With all the things that had been going on, I made sure I had my bear bell on and bear spray with me," said Ippoliti, who lives in Eagle River.
What happened next came so fast that Fredrick, who lives in Anchorage, is still turning it over in his mind from the hospital bed where he is recovering from being attacked by a brown bear. It was one of two brown bear maulings in Southcentral Alaska Saturday.
Fredrick says his friend saved his life.
Shortly after they heard the rustling sound, a brown bear emerged from the woods and ran "20-30 yards" toward them, Ippoliti said. Suddenly, the bear was on Fredrick, pulling him from his bike.
The victims were working in a field. Another woman, Surekha (22), was killed by lightning strike while working in a field at Janbhi in Amarwara tehsil of the district last evening. Richhalal Muha (60) died due to lightning strike while working in a field in Bhaugarh area of Mandsaur district last night, said police sub-inspector Gaurav Laud.
India Meteorological Department's Bhopal Centre Director Dr Anupam Kashyapi told that monsoon has reached some parts of the state, and it will cover south-east and central Madhya Pradesh soon.

The Brian Head Fire in Utah
Eighteen large fires are burning in the region, including six in Arizona, three in Utah, three in California, three in New Mexico, two in Nevada and a large one in Oregon. The two biggest wildfires are in southern Arizona and Utah.
Wildfires already have caused far more destruction than usual in the first half of 2017, meteorologist Haley Brink of the CNN Weather Center said. Almost 1 million more acres had burned by Thursday, compared with the 10-year average through June 22.

Heat records for June 25, 2017.
Summer's first weekend saw record-breaking temperatures in Seattle, which hit 96 degrees, breaking the old record of 88 degrees set in 2006.
Other cities in Western Washington also broke or tied their heat records: Olympia hit a whopping 98 degrees, breaking their record of 90 set in 2015.
Bellingham and Hoquiam tied their heat records of 83 and 82 degrees, respectively.
Further south, temperatures climbed to 92 in Tacoma and 97 in Puyallup. In the north sound, temperatures were milder in the 80s.
Relief is in sight, however, if the heat's too much for you.

A thawing snowpack that's massive after a brutal winter fed rivers and reservoirs with high-flowing runoff.
One place that saw a stunning impact from all the runoff is Lake Tahoe.
More than 12 billion gallons of water poured into the lake over the past week.
That's a staggering amount of water, and resulted in the lake level rising four inches since June 16.
That rise occurred while intense heat increased evaporation rates from the lake's surface. What's more, water managers have been releasing water from the lake into the Truckee River for the past 120 consecutive days to make room for snow-melt runoff.
"It's not typical to spill at all," says U.S. District Court Water Master Chad Blanchard. "It's only on the big years when you have to release water."
The blaze raging through forest land in La Penuela, Huelva, Spain
Tourists on two campsites in the Mazagon beach town area of Huelva in southwest Spain and a nearby parador hotel were still unable to return this morning as hundreds of firefighters tackled the out-of-control blaze.
Regional governors said around 2,100 people had been asked to leave their homes and holiday accommodation overnight, although guests at one of the hotels affected - the four-star Solvasa Mazagon Aparthotel - were back this morning.
The blaze is being treated as a level 1 - or maximum threat - by emergency services.
