Observational assessment reports human-caused serious injury and mortality rates in baleen whale stocks, highlighting critical anthropogenic threats across North American coastal waters.

All available information for reported whale injury and mortality events was evaluated using established criteria to assign injury severity and cause of injury or death for each event.
