Partnering with IFAW to Protect North Atlantic Right Whales

The North Atlantic right whale, with fewer than 370 individuals remaining, is critically endangered. Vessel strikes are a leading cause of mortality for these majestic creatures. In a groundbreaking effort to mitigate this threat, MotionInfo has partnered with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), Conserve.IO, and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary to implement high-tech solutions aimed at preventing vessel-whale collisions.

Innovative Solutions Through Collaboration
This partnership leverages Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) technology to deliver real-time safety messages and navigation data directly to vessels operating in whale habitats. MotionInfo's A.W.A.R.E. AIS network, integrated with Conserve.IO's marine mammal monitoring data, creates an automated communication system that alerts vessels entering active speed zones or areas with recent whale sightings.ifaw.org

How You Can Support
Protecting the North Atlantic right whale requires collective action. Your support can make a significant impact. Consider making a donation to IFAW to contribute to these vital conservation efforts.ifaw.org

Conclusion
Through strategic partnerships and innovative technology, we are making strides in safeguarding the future of the North Atlantic right whale. Together with IFAW and other dedicated organizations, MotionInfo is committed to creating a safer environment for these endangered marine mammals.
