5200 |a"There are no other known locations in the western North Atlantic where such consistently large aggregations of right whales have been observed between July and early November. In fact, these two areas represent the only known locations in the world where right whales can be observed in the summer and fall". Similar "critical habitat" designation was given in 1994 to areas in U.S.waters frequented by the whales. Both national initiatives involve alerting vessels to the presence of whales in the areas and issuing voluntary guidelines for subsequent vessel conduct. Recognising these areas is a promising small step in protecting the whales but is likely to be only minimally effective. More stringent regulation of vessel operations will be needed to successfully reduce the threat of fatal collisions"--p. 4.
