About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $530,000 project grant to Washington Maritime Blue under the Unallied Management Projects program (CFDA 11.454) to strengthen the Whale Report Alert System from September 2021 through December 2022. The grantee will evaluate current utilization of the alert system, which notifies large commercial vessels of Southern Resident killer whale presence to help reduce acoustic and physical disturbance. They will enhance the system through increased data input and encourage broader adoption across Washington operators to expand its use and minimize impacts to whales in the Salish Sea. The overall goal is to increase the efficacy and scalability of the alert system through cross-border and cross-sector collaboration.
Description
The quiet sound working group seeks to evaluate the current utilization of wras and then strengthen IT through more robust participation via increased data input, ultimately resulting in increased use of wras and associated beneficial changes in how large commercial vessels operate around srkws. The overall goal for this project is to increase the efficacy and scalability of the wras through cross-border and cross-sector collaboration. The project will increase and encourage adoption across washington commercial operators in order to expand use and minimize impacts to whales in the salish sea
