Hauraki Gulf Xxxxx’x Whales Sample Clauses

Hauraki Gulf Xxxxx’x Whales. A year-round resident population of Xxxxx'x whales was threatened by ship strike mortality (average = 2.3 whales/ annum) in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand (Xxxxxxxxxxx et al. 2015). Regulatory options were considered to manage shipping and mitigate the mortality risk, including possible measures through IMO. The shipping industry favoured a flexible, non-binding management option that did not involve IMO and developed the Hauraki Gulf Transit Protocol for Commercial Shipping3. The industry's preferred option was to re-route shipping rather than reduce speeds but due to unpredictability of habitat use by this population of whales, speed reduction was the best mitigation option. Within one year of adoption of the voluntary Transit Protocol, ships were transiting the Gulf at ~11 kts and since 2016 the average ship speed is ~10 kts. This has reduced the ship strike mortality risk from 51% to 26% (Ebdon et al. in review). A reporting system which encouraged mariners to report whale sightings in order to allow ships to route around the area where a whale had been sighted was also implemented. However, there were very few reports of whales and no evidence of any ships avoiding areas where whales were reported, indicating that this was ineffective as a mitigation 3 xxxxx://xxx.xxxx.xx.xx/sustain/Documents/150112-Transit%20Protocol.pdf measure. With respect to the recommended speed in the Transit Protocol, the industry is self-regulated with companies and pilots ensuring that information is available to mariners. This has been a very effective voluntary approach, with generally good compliance with the recommended 10 knot speed limit. There have been no dead whales reported since September 2014. The workshop discussed whether much effort had been required on an ongoing basis to maintain the reduced speeds by the industry. In the case of the Hauraki Gulf, once the companies had committed to slowing down, it was self- sustaining and the port and shipping industry run it themselves. A quarterly report on average speeds is presented to the relevant industry meetings. For the relatively rare occurrences of high speeds, companies are approached directly.
