Show Notes
NOAA proposes to relax vessel speed rules for North Atlantic right whales, a critically endangered species, to ease economic pressures on mariners. The change aims to swap fixed speed zones for more flexible ones, using tech like acoustic buoys and sighting apps to create dynamic speed zones. However, experts worry these tools may not be reliable enough to prevent collisions. Conservation groups urge sticking with proven speed caps until the tech proves itself.
