Ship strikes are proving to be one of the most dangerous threats to the survival and well-being of marine mammals across the planet. Laying bare the imminent dangers these gentle creatures encounter, statistics show a sharp increase in accidental collisions between marine mammals and commercial vessels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports an annual average of 80 confirmed ship strikes on marine mammals in U.S waters alone, signaling a pressing need for immediate attention to this issue. Through this petition, we request regulatory bodies for shipping and maritime affairs to enforce stricter regulations and improve monitoring systems to evade such tragic occurrences. It is not just the ethical obligation of one industry or nation but a collective duty of humankind to ensure the well-being of marine life, a critical component in maintaining the health of our global ecosystems. Do your part in preserving these irreplaceable elements of our oceans by supporting this petition to make the Whale Safe app more available to ship captains. THANK YOU!
