Reducing ship strikes worldwide by displaying whale areas & reporting sightings
Whale Alert membantu mengurangi kemungkinan serangan kapal yang fatal oleh kapal besar dengan menampilkan area manajemen paus aktif, area pelaporan yang diperlukan, rute yang direkomendasikan, area yang akan dihindari dan dekat peringatan real-time di jalur pelayaran di sepanjang pantai Amerika Serikat dan Kanada. This information allows vessel operators to avoid collision with whales by slowing down and heightening their visual awareness.
Whale Alert now supports reporting of whale sightings by the maritime community and the broader public. This information is shared in real-time with leading whale researchers and state and federal management authorities. Dalam beberapa kasus, penampakan paus akan memicu konfirmasi “over-flight” oleh National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) atau Penjaga Pantai Amerika Serikat (USCG) yang kemudian akan menentukan apakah pembatasan kecepatan sementara harus dibuat (area manajemen dinamis).
