Whale Alert - the Problem


Each year, many whales are killed by ship strikes and wash up on shore... and many, many more, we never know about. 

There are only 450 Right Whales left in the world - Shipstrikes is the #1 mortality factor.

Blue Whale are seriously threatened off the west coast of the U.S. and beyond. Again, strikes by large commercial vessels are the #1 culprit. 

Commercial traffic is set to increase xx % over the next several years.

The Whale Alert Project


The Whale Alert Project is a multi-disciplinary project marrying the latest in cetacean research with crowd sourcing to highlight "high risk" areas - regions where commercial shipping and whale concentrations intersect - in order to reduce the world-wide occurrence of fatal whale ship strikes.
