It is now time to act decisively and #ProtectOurCoast.
A new Oceana report reveals widespread non-compliance with speed limits in critical North Atlantic right whale protection zones. Analyzing vessel speeds from 2017-2020, the study found nearly 90% non-compliance in mandatory areas and 85% non-cooperation in voluntary zones along the U.S. Atlantic coast. Only about 360 critically endangered right whales remain.
Vessel collisions are a leading cause of death for these whales. Studies show that reducing vessel speeds to 10 knots can cut the risk of fatal strikes by 80-90%. While the analysis focused on larger vessels, all vessel sizes pose a threat; a 54-foot recreational vessel recently killed a calf.
Oceana's report reveals widespread vessel speeding in critical North Atlantic right whale habitats. With only about 360 whales left, non-compliance in mandatory speed zones reached nearly 90% from 2017-2020, and non-cooperation in voluntary areas was almost 85%.
Vessel collisions are a primary cause of death for these endangered whales. Studies show that reducing vessel speeds to 10 knots can cut the risk of fatal strikes by 80-90%.
Oceana is urging NOAA to immediately revise U.S. Atlantic vessel speed regulations to prevent the extinction of North Atlantic right whales.
