The federal government says vessels off the East Coast must slow down more often to help save a vanishing species of whale
The proposed vessel speed rules signal that the government wants the shipping industry to take more responsibility.
Environmental groups have made the case that many boats don't comply with the speed restrictions and that the rules need to be tighter. Environmental organization Oceana released a report in 2021 that saidin voluntary zones and was also dangerously low in the mandatory ones. The whales were once numerous off the East Coast, but their populations plummeted due to commercial whaling generations ago. Although they've been protected under the Endangered Species Act for decades, they've been slow to recover.
“This proposal is a step in the right direction, but it won’t help a single right whale until it’s actually finalized,” said Kristen Monsell, an attorney for environmental group Center for Biological Diversity.
