IWC WORK ON SHIP STRIKES Sample Clauses

IWC WORK ON SHIP STRIKES. This section of the workshop provided an overview of the work of the IWC with respect to ship strikes and associated data, and identifying high risk areas. 3.1 Overview of IWC concern about ship strikes and the work of the Conservation and Scientific Committees, including review of relevant aspects of Ship Strikes Strategic Plan (1) Reduce mortalities and injuries to cetaceans as a result of ship strikes. (2) Increase the application of measures that reduce collision probability, such as re-routing and speed reduction/limits on a global scale. (3) Improve reporting of incidents that do occur to the IWC Ship Strike Database. (4) Increase development/use of avoidance technologies and push for their widespread-standardized where appropriate. (5) Improve collaboration on ship strike issues internationally (e.g. International Maritime Organization (IMO), other IGOs (ACCOBAMS, ASCOBANS), NGOs, Arctic Council). (6) Increase public and industry awareness about the issue and measures used to reduce this threat. The IWC Strategic Plan describes seven stages in identifying high risk areas and developing appropriate mitigation strategies. The Scientific Committee has also identified specific aspects of these stages where it can contribute. The IWC has identified that reducing the spatial overlap of both high numbers of whales and high numbers of vessels is likely to remain the best means of reducing ship strikes followed by vessel speed reductions. Further information is available in Appendix 5. 3.2 Links with the proposed joint IWC/ACCOBAMS CMP on Mediterranean Fin Whales 3.3 Summary of relevant data held by IWC (e.g. ship strike database, catches, SOWER, POWER) Sighting data from IWC SOWER (Southern Ocean: 1978-2010) and POWER (N. Pacific: 2010-Present) cruises National Progress Reports: Strandings, entanglements, ship strikes and bycatch of large and small cetaceans (2001-present) Exact positions: Lat & long (as degrees and minutes) – have this for most of the recent catches Noon positions of factory ships: The numbers of these can be extracted if needed. Rough position of factory ships: Positions of catches by Soviet fleets in the 1950s and 60s was generally only given by 10 degree square – in this an approximate position in the centre of the square is used. Land stations with no individual position data: A position just outside the land station is used, so it should be correct to +/- 1 or 2 degrees.
