    In that boat was a group of heroes and a daughter that will look up to her mom forever. It's been 8 years. I hope that girl follows in her footsteps and sprints past her shadow.

    Wonderful to see you working to save whales in the St. Lawrence and Pacific from ship strikes. We've been both places, love to see the whales, and worry that ships move too fast for whales to avoid them. You said we can't ask the whales to leave the krill (8:10), so we have to move the ship channels, and you need massive help to move the ship channels. While working on that, we need a complementary approach in the short term. We need to emit sounds in the ship channel ahead of each ship, and place more buoys to delineate the channels, so whales know exactly where it is (especially in the St. Lawrence where there isn't much space). The whales are smart enough to learn what the sounds and buoys mean, and move their feeding aside while a ship passes. We've seen blue whales move in response to a slow research boat, even while feeding, which suggests that they could respond to signals ahead of a freighter.

    I heard the song of the world's last whale
    As we rocked in the moonlight and reefed the sail.
    “If it happens to me, also, without fail
    It'll happen to you.”
    sang the world's last whale.

  • @DamianDeEu

    Could they not just put a mandatory regulation for every ship to have some sort of alerting device for whales to pickup? I'm thinking if echo-location is not enough for them to get alerted, then maybe some sort of device that would emit a sound within their hearing frequency spectrum would do the job, a ship horn for whales.

    • @ColRubyDimplesManacha
      @ColRubyDimplesManacha 7 років тому

      That's what I was thinking. Like deer whistles for cars. It could transmit their warning call from the bottom of the ship.

    • @katiekat4457

      You are so right. How can they possible not see them on their sonar? Good point

    • @Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears
      @Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears 6 років тому +3

      They have no problem hearing the ships they are overwhelmed with all the sounds the ships make and have a hard time using their sonar. Also as he said they are not very attentive when eating apparently.

    Im not sure if I missed it, but is there any idea why whales don't get out of the way of the ships. I'm not saying they should have to, or that we shouldn't have safe areas for whalews - we should.
    But my understanding is whales - or at least some whales - have a really good 3d picture of what is around them mainly based on audio signals.
    We see footage of whales sensing humans in the water and gently touching them with a flipper or moving so they don't collide etc, so do we understand why they can't sense or maybe don't respond to a deteced ship?

    Was it a thank you or was she trying to get the rest of the netting off her tail by slamming into the water and getting the water moving hard against her fluke to swoosh the netting off. I think it was both. Plus she needed to get her circulation going again. Nah, it was definitely a thank you.
