Nice to See Scientists Looking At Things From a Real World Perspective

[Just_A_Fan]

Scientists studying the great blue whale, these are magnificent creatures and a wonder to see by the way, have identified through their research that the whales are put in harms way, i.e. being hit by ships, due to certain shipping lanes here on the left coast during certain times of the year.  Instead of a knee jerk "shut everything down" approach these researches are suggesting alternatives and win-win scenarios to protect both the whales and shipping alike....nice to see an approach that takes all perspectives into account for a change.  :u: :u:
