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 …

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 …

Abstract The Canary Islands, known for their extraordinarily high cetacean species diversity,
have witnessed a rapid expansion in fast and high speed ferry traffic during the past few …

Concern about the effects of maritime vessel collisions with marine animals is increasing
worldwide. To date, most scientific publications on this topic have focused on the collisions …

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 …

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 …

Vessel-whale collision events represented the ultimate cause of death for 21 (52.5%) of the
40 North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) necropsied between 1970 and …

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 …

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 …
