And the Winner Is … the Slowest!
  + stars: | 2024-07-02 | by ( Cara Buckley | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Every year, in the waters off the California coast, hundreds of tankers, car carriers and container vessels from dozens of shipping companies take part in an unusual race. Awards are given to companies whose fleets voluntarily reduce speeds in marine areas where endangered whales migrate through and feed in. The prize, known as Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies, comes with a sculptural whale-tail trophy and bragging rights. “That’s the motivation right there.”The real winner may be ocean life. Slower ships also generate less ocean noise and fewer greenhouse gases and other air pollution.
