Robotic buoys and gliders from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution can provide near real-time detection for whale sounds.
that creates a box around areas where whales have been detected visually or acoustically. It asks mariners going through to slow down to ten knots or less or avoid the area altogether. “This program has been up for about two years. And we’ve had a lot of slow zones over the east coast over the past winter, triggered because of our buoys and gliders,” Baumgartner says. “We know that when ships go slower, they’re less likely to hit and kill whales.
One problem they’re still trying to solve is who to get this information to. A ship wants to come on shore on time to unload, have longshoremen in place, and have truckers ready to receive the containers. “That’s a business problem that the captain will not solve alone. Who do you provide this information to?” says Baumgartner.
