Cargo ships are killing blue whales — but the problem is 'uniquely resolvable,' marine biologist says
on the region's whale population starting in 2008, the Sri Lankan blue whale population stay in the area all year round, overlapping with a major shipping route that connects East Asia to the Suez Canal.
But the solution to keeping blue whales from being injured by massive cargo ships is"uniquely resolvable," de Vos said — the ships can simply adjust their route. that"risk could be reduced by 95%" if shipping routes were adjusted 15 nautical miles more south than its current route. The push to protect whales from cargo ships has been going on for over a decade. In 2012, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organizationthat shipping lanes off the California coast will be adjusted to"protect endangered whales from ship strikes" after four blue whales were killed in the Santa Barbara channel in 2007. Five more whales were killed by ships three years later.
