High rate of ship strike to large whales off Chile
Humpback whale movements in a narrow and heavily-used shipping passage, Chile
The Magellan Strait is a narrow passage connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans in South America. An average of 2023 ships per year transit this corridor with 80% representing the international fleet. The southwestern part of the Strait in Chile is an important summer feeding area for humpback whales. Considering the risk to whales of feeding among dense ship traffic, the movements of 25 satellite-tagged whales relative to vessel density were …
Ship's compliance with a traffic separation scheme and speed limit in the Gulf of Panama and implications for the risk to humpback whales
To reduce the whale-vessel strike risk in the Gulf of Panama, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) with corresponding inshore traffic zones and seasonal (Aug–Nov) speed limits of ≤10 kn (Speed Over Ground, SOG) commencing December 2014. Here, we assessed compliance rates to these new regulations. Vessel traffic data in the area were obtained between 2014 (pre-TSS implementation) and 2016 using Au…
Historical Decline in Coral Reef Growth after the Panama Canal
The Panama Canal is near its vessel size and tonnage handling capacity, and Panamanians have decided to expand it. The expansion of the Canal may consider the historical long-lasting impacts on marine coastal habitats particularly on sensitive coral reefs. These potential impacts were discussed during the national referendum as were other equally important issues, such as its effects on forests, watersheds, and water supply. Coral growth rates pr…
