About
NOAA Fisheries is hosting three informational webinars detailing proposed changes to the North Atlantic right whale vessel speed rule. The agency is proposing changes to reduce the risk of lethal vessel strikes with endangered right whales along the U.S. East Coast. Following a brief presentation, we will provide attendees the opportunity to ask clarifying questions about the proposed changes. Additionally, you can provide written questions in advance, when you register, which we will do our best to respond to during the webinar.
Please note: We will not be accepting formal verbal or written comments at the webinar, only responding to questions and providing clarification on the proposed changes. We welcome comments on the proposed rule by September 30, 2022. You may submit comments via the Federal eRulemaking Portal. Enter NOAA-NMFS-2022-0022 in the search box to comment on the proposed rule.
