The highly urbanized and relatively shallow waters over the continental shelf of the eastern U.S. create a perilous superhighway for North Atlantic right whales, making them vulnerable to human activities like vessel strikes, entanglement in fishing gear and noise pollution. Every winter, many right whales, including pregnant females, travel more than 1,000 miles along the Atlantic coast to give birth in warmer southern waters, and then back north--a rare few with a calf in tow--to feed in northern waters.

Key Points: 
  • Now, a collaboration between Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, aims to increase whale detection efforts along the U.S East Coast, particularly for North Atlantic right whales, and reduce the potential for ship strikes along critical shipping routes.
  • Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a private, non-profit organization on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, dedicated to marine research, engineering, and higher education.
  • Led by Rodolphe Saad, the CMA CGM Group, a global leader in shipping and logistics, serves more than 420 ports around the world on five continents.
  • In the United States, CMA CGM Group, which is headquartered in Norfolk, Va., employs more than 12,000 people.

  • Documents were analyzed and compared with American Eel distribution data and best practices for monitoring and mitigation.
  • With concerted efforts from citizens, governments and various industries CWF is hopeful that the American Eel can recover.

  • We urge the agency to use the court's decision today to inform all of their choices about gray wolves moving forward and to immediately restore federal protections for gray wolves in the Northern Rockies as well."
