Abstract

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) data have been beneficial in understanding spatio-temporal patterns in marine traffic to inform assessments of vessel-strike risk to large whales. However, AIS does not represent all vessel classes, particularly recreational vessels that are not legally required to use AIS. Growing evidence suggests that recreational vessels do collide with large whales, and so risk assessments relying on AIS data can underestimate the threat and misguide conservation efforts. To address this, we conducted surveys of recreational vessel and humpback whale sightings to build density surface models and estimate relative vessel-strike risk by spatial co-occurrence in an urbanized embayment, Moreton Bay, Australia. We demonstrate that 93% of recreational vessels sighted in Moreton Bay did not use AIS and that vessel strike risk varies spatially according to vessel class (recreational vs. commercial). These results highlight the importance of including recreational vessels into vessel strike risk assessments to provide a more holistic view of vessel strike.
在评估船只撞击座头鲸(Megaptera novaeangliae)的风险时考虑娱乐船只的必要性
自动识别系统(AIS)数据有助于了解海洋交通的时空模式,为评估船只撞击大型鲸鱼的风险提供信息。然而,自动识别系统并不能代表所有船只类别,特别是那些没有法律要求使用自动识别系统的休闲船只。越来越多的证据表明,休闲船只确实会与大型鲸鱼相撞,因此依靠 AIS 数据进行的风险评估可能会低估这种威胁,并误导保护工作。为了解决这个问题,我们对休闲船只和座头鲸的目击情况进行了调查,以建立密度面模型,并根据澳大利亚莫尔顿湾一个城市化海湾的空间共现情况来估计船只撞击鲸鱼的相对风险。我们证明,在莫尔顿湾发现的休闲船只中有 93% 没有使用 AIS,船只撞击风险因船只类别(休闲船只与商业船只)的不同而存在空间差异。这些结果凸显了将休闲船只纳入船只撞击风险评估的重要性,以便提供更全面的船只撞击情况。

期刊介绍: Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
