Coast Guard urged to slow ships to shield whales
The Nation briefs report the Coast Guard was ordered to slow vessels along the Eastern Seaboard after a cutter collided with a humpback. The NMFS order targets protection of whales under the Endangered Species Act, focusing on the North Atlantic right whale with fewer than 300 believed to exist and 12 human-caused deaths last year. The order requires lookouts and radio warnings of whale sightings.
