Title: Reduce the Threat of Ship Collisions with North Atlantic Right Whales
Abstract: NMFS may renew a requirement currently contained in vessel speed restrictions designed to reduce the likelihood of vessel collisions with North Atlantic right whales. The regulations require speed restrictions of no more than 10 knots applying to all vessels 65 ft (19.8 m) or greater in overall length in certain locations and at certain times of the year along the east coast of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard. The rule is currently set to expire December 9, 2013. NMFS seeks public comment on the proposed rule.
