Ocean Technologies Group partners with World Cetacean Alliance to reduce ship strikes and risks posed to marine mammals

Whether it's fishing fleets, cargo ships, cruise liners or whale-watching vessels, collisions with ships are one of the greatest known threats to whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Such ship strikes pose a significant risk to large whale species, including critically endangered species such as the North Atlantic right whale.

Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) have partnered with World Cetacean Alliance (WCA) to make their e-learning title: "Becoming Whale Aware" available through the award-winning Ocean Learning Platform (OLP).

The WCA-designed course supports commercial vessel operators by educating crews on how to avoid collisions with whales and dolphins.

This, in turn, contributes to improving the safety of crew, passengers, vessels, and the wider marine environment.
