Thank you @StefanLabbe for speaking with @CetusEcologist about this important issue. “we're seeing more and more strikes...vessels have increased 300 per cent in the last 30-odd years. So it's a real concern for these species." Dr. Chloe Robinson, Ocean Wise.

Ocean Wise Whale Initiative Director Dr. Chloe Robinson is a co-author of this study which reveals the prevalence globally of whale-ship strikes. Ocean Wise is working to mitigate ship-whale strikes via the Whale Report Alert System. Learn more: ocean.org/whales/wras/
