  • Endangered whale species (like blue whales, humpbacks, and fin whales) face a major threat on the high seas: cruise and container ships that have difficulty avoiding collisions with whales. Correspondent David Pogue talks with a marine ecologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, whose fleet of autonomous vehicles helps track whales in shipping lanes; and finds out how container ships may be able to reduce striking whales.

    Slowing down should not be voluntary. We need these regulations immediately in order to save these beautiful creatures.

    Whether from foreign hunters or ship mishaps with crashes, sonar torture, etc., we must save whatever whales are left!

    Whales should not suffer and die to satisfy corporate greed. Lord knows we humans do, and we shouldn't subject whales to it

    Regardless of how this story ends I always feel sick hearing about all the ways that human activity is so lethal to all other species. Most people have complete disregard for this matter. Either they chalk it up to collateral damage in profit making business or they look at other species as irrelevant to their lives. Lives that are usually plugged into the emptiness of consumerism. Most of that is acquiring useless products that create millions of tons of plastic trash. The human species can be highly destructive (and greedy).

    We need legislation to make the ships slow down. So what about the extra time it takes. Sometimes doing the right thing is more important than more profit. 💙🐋

    The slowdowns should not be voluntary. They should be required. Money can be replaced, but whales 🐋🐳 can't be replaced.

    Would it be possible to tag them with something akin to an "air tag" that would alert ships to their presence within close proximity?
    I know most open water boats (even most small sailboats) have a transponder on board so that other ships (larger ships especially) can "see" them on their ships radar.

    NOAA has a big role in whale protection. Trump’s Project 2025 would privatize NOAA, likely ending this important research and protection of whales.

      Yes. Trump destroys in favor of profit with zero understanding or care of how anything works and why sonething shouldn't be for profit. Endless profit corrupts and renders some things useless. Just like he eliminated the Pandemic Response Team having zero clue how it saved us from ebola. And rendered us powerless to immediately even mitigate COVID.

    International policy, laws, and enforcement are the only way these creatures will survive.
    This is a global issue.
    History shows that will never happen.

    As a great fan of David Pogue and CVS Sunday Morning, I am tremendously disappointed in reporting on the story regarding whale deaths.
    David, it is not that you may disagree regarding building wind turbines in our oceans is a major suspected culprit in this equation, but it's the fact that you never even mentioned it, even if you wanted to disagree with that fact!
    As an older guy who has watched Sunday morning since the first Charles Kuralt episode, all through Charles Osgood and now Jane Pauley, I consider this for an biased reporting of you David, and I love so many of your excellent segments!
    Again, it's not something you had to agree with, but the fact that you never even mentioned that in the equation of your entire story is not good and fair reporting, there is no doubt about that!
    I most probably will never hear from you David and will still look for your pieces in the future, but this was bad an biased reporting!

    • @Iris-hx6ox

      Maybe take into account that the story was about the dangers boats cause whales. And ask that the dangers of wind turbines to wild life be done as well. It's fair, but find it amazing that so many people that could give a crap one way or another suddenly do when it comes to green tech.

    I don't care for Kamala Harris or what the Democratic Party has become, but I'll hold my nose and vote for them because I know Trump and Republicans will- like on many environmental regulations- rollback protections such as what the government is trying to do to protect whales.
