Minimizing Vessel Strikes to Endangered Right Whales: A Crash Course
in Conservation Science and Policy
Dr. Moira Brown, New England Aquarium Right Whale Team The North Atlantic right whale is considered one of the most endangered of all large whales: Only about 400 individuals remain. Species recovery is, in part, contingent on reducing vessel-strike mortality. Dr. Moira Brown will explain how our science-based conservation program resulted in two implementations specifically designed to minimize the risk of lethal vessel strikes of right whales without unduly compromising vessel navigation and safety.
