Whale Safe


The Whale Safe tool displays both visual and acoustic whale detections in the Santa Barbara Channel and San Francisco region. It also includes a blue whale habitat model that predicts the likelihood of blue whale presence. The tool ranks vessels and shipping companies according to their cooperation rates with NOAA’s voluntary speed restrictions in both regions.
