Slowing Ships May Reduce Whale Strikes
- "...a new program in the Santa Barbara Channel incentivizes container ships to slow down to speeds at or below 12 knots, thereby reducing air pollution and enhancing protection of endangered whales. The Trial, developed and implemented by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, NOAA’s Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, and the Environmental Defense Center, is modeled after successful speed reduction incentive programs at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles." - excerpt from project factsheet.
