5203 |a"Vessel strikes are one of the threats negatively affecting the recovery of two of Canada’s endangered whale species: North Atlantic Right Whales (NARWs) and Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKWs). A component of Canada’s Ocean Protection Plan (OPP), referred to as the Whale Detection and Collison Avoidance (WDCA) initiative, involves investigating technologies that will enable detection of whales in and around areas where vessel activities occur in support of the development of a near real-time alert system for reducing the threat of vessel strikes. This paper reviews technologies that could be used to provide information on the presence of NARWs and SRKWs in near real-time. The goal is to identify existing or emerging technologies or systems that could be useful for detecting whales, and specifically to evaluate their suitability and likely effectiveness for detecting NARWs and SRKWs in near real-time in Canadian waters. Above water sensing systems such as basic light cameras, thermal imaging detection via infrared (IR) cameras, radio detection and ranging (RADAR), and satellite-based multispectral optical technologies; and underwater sensing systems including passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and active Sound Navigation and ranging (SONAR) technologies are considered. Visual detection and PAM systems are currently the primary and most accurate marine mammal detection modalities being used, and substantial developments in both PAM and IR camera systems in recent years make them the most promising technologies on which to focus efforts under the OPP WDCA initiative. PAM and IR camera technologies will be tested in near shore areas off eastern and western Canada, the results of which are expected to provide insights into future development of a near real-time alert system to reduce potential NARW and SRKW vessel strikes"--Abstract, page iv.
