"In waters that are traditionally not covered by ice and have higher ship traffic, “ships can be extremely harmful to whales ... slow-moving animals that spend a lot of time at the surface,” Szesciorka said. North Atlantic right whales, “cousins” to the bowheads, “are being driven to extinction by ship strikes and fishing entanglements,” she said.

“With increases in shipping, especially in the winter in the Bering Strait region, it is increasingly likely that bowheads will be struck by ships,” Szesciorka said."
