| 摘要： | As the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tells it, a 14-year effort to reduce ship strikes that kill whales off East Coast ports is showing success. On Oct. 19 NOAA announced a new online tool that shows how operators of various vessels - from recreational yachts to containerships - are obeying 10-knot speed limits in areas frequented by endangered North Atlantic right whales. Those 10 "special management areas" from Massachusetts to Florida dictate that vessels over 65' slow to 10 knots when making transits, with the goal of reducing fatal strikes on whales that are swimming near the surface. Overall compliance with the speed rule is now up to about 80% of transiting vessels, compared with 50% when the speed rule first went into effect in 2008-2009, said Lauren Gaches, a spokeswoman for NOAA Fisheries. |
