Download or read book Evaluation of Northern Right Whale Ship Strike Reduction Measures in the Great South Channel of Massachusetts written by Richard L. Merrick and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ship strike mortality remains one of the two primary causes of lack of recovery of the North Atlantic population of northern right whales (Eubalaena glacialis). As a result, NOAA fisheries has identified a number of actions to reduce interactions between ships and whales. Central to this approach is the concept that ship strike mortality can be reduced either by slowing ships or by separating vessels and whales." p.1.

Download or read book North Atlantic Right Whales written by David W. Laist and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, some of the heartiest humans of medieval days ventured out in search of whales. Through the centuries, people became increasingly dependent on whale oil and other cetacean products. To meet this growing demand, whaling became ever more sophisticated and intense, leading to the collapse of what was once a seemingly inexhaustible supply of large cetaceans. Central to the whale's subsequent struggle for existence has been one species--the North Atlantic right whale. This book is a history of the North Atlantic right whale, from its earliest encounters with humans to its close brush with extinction, to its currently precarious yet hopeful status as a conservation icon.

Download or read book Seasonal Management Areas to Reduce Ship Strikes of Northern Right Whales in the Gulf of Maine written by Richard L. Merrick and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northeast Fisheries Science Center staff evaluated the spatial and temporal distribution of northern right whales (Eubalena glacialis) within the Gulf of Maine to develop potential management areas to reduce ship strikes of these whales. The following management areas coupled with routing and speed restrictions should decrease the risk of right whale ship strikes in the Gulf of Maine: 1. A Cape Cod Bay Seasonal Management Area (SMA) to be coterminous with the existing Cape Cod Bay critical habitat (January 1- May 15). 2. A Gulf of Maine SMA extending eastward from Massachusetts Bay (70.50° W) to the Hague Line, and southward from 42.50° N to the Cape Cod Bay SMA and the southern edge of the Great South Channel critical habitat area. Time period for this SMA would be March 1 - July 31. If further temporal structuring of the SMA is desired then it could be split as follows: a. A Western Seasonal Management Area extending from Massachusetts Bay (70.50° W) eastward to 69.40° W, and from 42.50° N southward to the Cape Cod Bay SMA and Great South Channel critical habitat areas (March 1 - April 30) b. An Eastern Seasonal Management Area extending from 69.75° W eastward to the Hague line, and from 42.50° N southward to the southern edge of the Great South Channel critical habitat area (April 1 - July 31) 3. A modified Boston Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) which includes moving the existing East-West leg of the lanes further north, and adding a new North-South TSS as a spur from the existing TSS. Realignment of the existing Boston TSS has the potential to reduce interactions between ships and large whales along the northern portion of the TSS by 50% or more by directing shipping traffic away from seasonal large whale concentrations within the existing TSS.
