It’s 2 years since the Ports Of Auckland introduced a protocol to reduce ship collisions with the small resident population of Bryde’s whales in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand. IFAW has been working with the ports and others since then to encourage shipping companies to slow down and reduce the chances of fatal ship strikes. We’ve seen a steady reduction in ship speeds during that time but there’s still work to do to make it a safer home for the ‪#‎whales‬.
