Voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction Zone In Effect NOAA recommends that vessels > 300 gross registered tons transiting the zone do so at speeds of 10 knots or less
Whale Safe is a tool that displays both visual and acoustic whale detections in the Santa Barbara Channel and the 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 rates of cooperation with NOAA’s voluntary speed restrictions.
The companies with highest and lowest rates of adoption for 2025 (includes January 1-15, 2025):
