The North Atlantic Right Whale, with fewer than 350 individuals remaining, faces urgent threats from vessel strikes and entanglements. To combat these challenges, News4JAX has partnered with MotionInfo and its marine branch, Maritime Information Systems, to spotlight the innovative StationKeeper program.

 

This groundbreaking initiative uses Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology to alert vessels in real-time when they approach protected whale habitats. By collaborating with hosts and deploying advanced AIS transceivers, StationKeeper promotes safer navigation, protecting marine life while ensuring maritime efficiency.
