JaxPort’s Board of Directors has approved a program signaling JaxPort’s commitment to protecting the endangered North Atlantic Right Whales.
JaxPort will soon implement a Ship Strike Avoidance Recognition program to recognize those ocean carriers which reduce vessel speed while transiting through critical whale habitats.
The new program will roll out as the right whale migration and calving season is beginning along the Atlantic seaboard. The season for the Southeast U.S. Seasonal Management Area, which includes the ports of Brunswick, Fernandina and Jacksonville, begins November 15 and runs through April 15.
