After the near-complete cessation of commercial whaling, ship collisions have emerged as a primary threat to large whales, but knowledge collision risk is lacking across most world’s oceans. We compiled dataset 435,000 whale locations generate global distribution models for four globally ranging species. then combined >35 billion positions from 176,000 ships produce estimate whale-ship risk. Shipping occurs 92% ranges, and <7% hotspots contain management strategies reduce collisions....
ABSTRACT Aim Citizen science is an important source of biodiversity information, particularly for gathering information on species distributions across large geographic areas. However, there are challenges with spatial and biases, variation in effort citizen data. We aimed to investigate summer winter habitat suitability cetacean reported the northeastern Pacific by applying distribution models (SDMs) opportunistic sightings data submitted Ocean Wise Sightings Network (OWSN).
