Blue Fish Radio: What Can Be Done About Whale-ship Collisions?

Advertisement

Outdoor Canada is pleased to present Blue Fish Radio—podcasts about the future of fish and fishing in Canada. The program, produced and hosted by Lawrence Gunther, is dedicated to sharing first-hand angling knowledge, scientific discoveries and supporting local champions who protect and enhance their waters.

Located in Long Bay, off the coast of Los Angeles, California, the Aquarium of the Pacific is ideally located to study whale behaviour. New research at the Aquarium has determined that ships entering and departing from one of the U.S.’s busiest ports pass directly through a preferred feeding area for whales. Moby Dick is no match for these colossal conveyers of the sea, which are arriving at port with whales impaled on their bows. But there is hope—listen now to hear about possible solutions.
