Historical records demonstrate that the most numerous, per capita, ocean‐going‐vessel
strikes recorded among large‐whale species accrue to the North Atlantic right whale …

Although collisions with motorized ships are a recognized source of whale mortality, little
has been done to compile information on the frequency of their occurrence or contributing …

Successful mitigation of vessel–whale encounters requires quantitative estimates of vessel
strikes, how strike rates change over time, where strikes are most likely to occur, and options …

Collisions with vessels are a serious threat to a number of endangered large whale species,
the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) in particular. In late 2008, the US …

Ship strikes of large whales cause mortalities worldwide, but there is uncertainty regarding
the frequency and species involved. We examined 130 records (from 1980–2006) of large …

Here we summarize 108 reported whale‐vessel collisions in Alaska from 1978–2011, of
which 25 are known to have resulted in the whale′ s death. We found 89 definite and 19 …

All endangered large whale species are vulnerable to collisions with large ships; and “ship
strikes” are the greatest known threat to one of the world's rarest whales, the North Atlantic …

Mortality from collisions with vessels is one of the main human causes of death for large
whales. Ship strikes are rarely witnessed and the distribution of strike risk and estimates of …

The North Atlantic right whale Eubalaena glacialis is endangered, in part, due to vessel-
strike mortality. We use vessel traffic and right whale survey data (~ 3 nautical miles [n …

Collisions with vessels are a well-documented conservation problem for some populations
of large whales (LW) in the Northern Hemisphere. Less attention has been given to incidents …
