Examining vessel traffic patterns and conformance to voluntary guidelines in the western Canadian Arctic notice to mariners / by William D. Halliday, Kevin C. Scharffenberg, Piia Kortsalo, Jackie Dawson,...Fs97-6/3707E-PDF

"The Notice to Mariners (NOTMAR) in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) was created in 2019 to reduce risk from vessel traffic to beluga and bowhead whales and reduce the environmental impacts of vessel traffic in marine protected areas (MPAs). The specific guidelines are to avoid the MPAs if possible, and if not possible, to travel at speeds less than 10 knots. Beyond the MPAs, vessels in areas important for whales are also asked to travel at speeds less than 10 knots. In this report, we assess the conformance of vessel traffic to the voluntary guidelines in the NOTMAR to provide a benchmark of vessel activity in the ISR under the current management system"--Abstract, page v.
