SUMMARY:Deadline to submit feedback to the Proposed Marine Mammal Regulations
DESCRIPTION:The federal government is considering changes to distance regulations that would apply to boaters near endangered killer whales. \n\n\n\nMore than a decade of research shows Southern Resident killer whales are adversely affected by the physical presence and noise of vessels. Boats are especially disruptive when killer whales are trying to feed. Boats within 1 kilometre of foraging whales reduce their ability to successfully find and catch prey. \n\n\n\nIn an effort to reduce the harm from vessels\, Washington State will implement a 1\,000 yard vessel exclusion zone between boats and Southern Resident killer whales that will come into effect in January 2025. We are advocating that the Canadian federal government harmonise the measures between British Columbia and Washington State in the U.S. \n\n\n\nPlease take the time to provide the Department of Fisheries and Oceans with feedback. We’ve shared our feedback which you are welcome to use or adjust as you see fit. The survey should take around 15-20 minutes to complete. \n\n\n\nLearn more\n\nTake the survey now
