Thermal cameras to help protect whales from ship strikes

"For ferry-goers gliding through the calm and sometimes narrow channels of British Columbia’s Gulf Islands, the views can be idyllic: craggy coastlines and placid inlets set against lush forested mountains. But for endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKWs), of which fewer than 80 remain, the area has become increasingly dangerous... making whales more vulnerable to ship strikes along these quaint marine highways. To help mitigate the potential for collisions... [thermal] cameras are being installed at a ferry terminal on Galiano Island on a test basis and will scan the mile-wide entrance of Active Pass for whale blows for the next year and beyond."- Excerpt from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
