Summary
One of the greatest threats to the recovery of the highly depleted North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) is collisions with ships (or ship strikes). The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has taken a number of steps to reduce the threat, including issuing a final rule (73 Federal Register 60173, October 2008) that requires vessels >65 feet in length to travel at 10 knots or less in certain times and locations (termed Seasonal Management Areas or SMA) of right whale occurrence.
