NOAA reported Monday that a New England Aquarium aerial survey team on Friday detected the presence of right whales south of the VineyardAnother slow zone has been added south of Martha's Vineyard due to the presence of North Atlantic right whales, which analysts say are one of the rarest marine mammals in the world.
The areas are the subject of potentially competing policies governing fishing and maritime industry regulation, the establishment of offshore wind energy turbines, and protection of the endangered whales. Under the voluntary slow zones, mariners are requested to avoid the areas or transit at 10 knots or less.
Right whales are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and scientists estimate there are fewer than 350 right whales remaining.
