How many whales are injured, killed, or significantly harassed annually by ship collisions or man-made acoustical events?
Numbers are not known because it is impossible to observe all the whales in the vicinity of a potentially harmful activity (which is precisely the problem we are trying to solve). However, there is evidence that a large number of whales are impacted every year. Our goal is to reduce these numbers by developing a safe way of detecting the presence of whales under any conditions.
