NOAA Fisheries aims to reduce whale strikes on the East Coast of the United States with new vessel speed regulations.
Vessel strikes are a major threat to whales, so better monitoring of their locations could help reduce collisions.
Of 18 companies that Friend of the Sea evaluated, it identified Hapag-Lloyd as “the international shipping company most committed to minimizing the risk of whale ship strikes.”
The Friend of the Sea program calls on the international maritime sector to act immediately to prevent ship-whale collisions.
As demand for shipping increases, whales are more at risk of colliding with vessels. A new certification provides strategies to prevent collisions.
