New LNG shipping operations in Kitimat may threaten local whale populations with increased risk of ship strikes and noise.
LNG Canada's new shipping operations in the Kitimat fjord system pose risks to local humpback and fin whale populations.
These whales, which had previously been decimated by commercial whaling, have made a comeback due to the area's tranquility and abundant food.
However, increased tanker traffic threatens the whales with ship strikes and disruptive noise, potentially leading to the annual death of two fin whales and 18 humpbacks.
To mitigate these threats, the Gitga'at, BC Whales, and WWF Canada have launched an acoustic monitoring project using AI and hydrophones to track whales and manage shipping routes.
