If they slow down it means business might not make their money as fast. Do you want that to happen to them? (Please do read that dripping with sarcasm). Are these ads driving other people berserk? there seems to be a lot today.

As usual, time is money so slowing down in speed will cost money. A better idea would be is to install propellor guards which would not only save whales but a host of marine life if installed or rather mandatory on all vessels regardless of size vessell. A guard would be a one-time cost whereas loss of speed would add up time and time over again. Whales, manatees, seals, dolphins and even sharks all in their respective habitats would be very grateful if they did.

I live along the Bay Of Fundy where the North Atlantic Right Whale spends its summer, they are a magnificent animal that need every protection we can offer them. Several years ago it was determined that ship strikes killed a high number of Right Whales every year so the local business ( Irving Oil ), that owns most of the ships agreed to change the shipping lanes, moving them closer to Nove Scotia and away from the whales, the result has been no deaths from ship strikes in the years following. Yes, the speed the ships take needs to remain slow, but the whales are still dying from entanglement in fishing gear. This is what we need to focus on now, how can we protect this incredible animal from fishing gear ?
