The result is a kind of crossing guard system for whales, where the agencies, shipping companies, researchers and even the public can monitor vessel speeds and whale interactions in coastal waters.
"So having a complete understanding about the presence of whales year-round will give notice to greater pheromones and Cordell Bank sanctuaries the data we need to further reduce ship strikes to whales," Brown said.
They hope the Whale Safe system will help cut down on the kind of collisions that kill an estimated 80 endangered whales off the West Coast every year-- and perhaps give them a voice in keeping our waters safer. The team says the data will also be used by the Benioff Ocean Science Lab and The Marine Mammal Center to help develop additional safety measures for the future.
