NOAA: Ship Speed Restrictions to Protect Endangered North Atlantic Right Whales

NOAA has announced seasonal vessel speed restrictions along the U.S. East Coast where the endangered right whale travels to protect them from being injured or killed by colliding with ships. The restrictions – the same as imposed last year – require vessels 65 feet or longer to travel at 10 knots or less in key right whale areas, reducing the chances ships will collide with whales.
