Wiley et al Sample Clauses

Wiley et al. 20013 Wiley introduced Wiley et al. (2013) (available as CCSC/APR19/SS/INFO/06) that provided an overview of work undertaken in Xxxxxxxxxx Bank National Marine Sanctuary, which was a “hotspot” for collisions between vessels and whales. The authors created a heatmap of where whales were likely to occur as well as a map of shipping activity, and then discussed various management options with the port authority and industry. The preferred option identified was to re-route the shipping lanes and, following a successful proposal to the IMO, the shipping lanes were moved, substantially reducing the overlap of whales and ships. A subsequent proposal to develop two deep water ports for offloading liquefied natural gas (LNG) adjacent to the sanctuary posed additional problems, bringing increased traffic to the area. To mitigate this, acoustic buoys were put in place to notify ships in near real-time that there were whales present, and that they should slow down to less than 10 knots. An app ‘Whale Alert’ was developed which indicated when the buoys were activated. The specific position of the whales wasn’t provided to the boats, as it wasn’t possible to be sure of the location of the whale when the boat encountered it. In addition, ‘Report cards’ were created for each ship transiting, to determine how fast it was travelling and whether or not it was compliant. The LNG boats were generally compliant, whereas other vessels did not slow down. The impact of these measures on the number of whales struck is currently being assessed.
