Dear MARMAM, On behalf of my team and partners at the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation (CMSF) and the Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies Program, I am pleased to share a new public resource: "Whale Atlas: A Mariners Guide to Whale-Safer Shipping." To allow mariners to incorporate whale protection measures into their voyage planning, this new, online portal hosts digitized whale conservation zones relevant to maritime shipping and allows users to easily identify and download the locations and seasonality of global Vessel Speed Reduction zones, Areas To Be Avoided, whale-safer routing schemes, and more. The Whale Atlas is now live and can be found on the new Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies website here: https://bluewhalesblueskies.org/resources/ You can learn more about the Whale Atlas here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwE538zle9c Our team will strive to keep this mariner-friendly resource updated and current as protection measures and zones change. Please reach out and let me know (email: jessica.morten@noaa.gov) if you know of any protection zones that we've missed that should be included.
