North Atlantic Right Whale Protection and Vessel Speed Regulation Order

The Interim Order for the Protection of North Atlantic Right Whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2025, aims to mitigate risks to marine safety and the environment by regulating vessel speeds and navigation in specific zones. Vessels over 13 meters in length must adhere to a speed limit of 10 knots in static zones, dynamic shipping zones, and seasonal management areas, with exceptions for vessels in distress, government vessels on duty, and certain commercial fishing activities. If right whales are detected, speed limits are enforced for 15 days or until the order is repealed. In restricted areas, navigation may be prohibited if there is an increased presence of right whales or reports of their deaths or injuries. Exceptions to navigation prohibitions include vessels used for commercial fishing, government duties, research, and emergency responses. The order is subject to suspension due to adverse weather conditions to maintain marine safety. The order is temporary, lasting 30 days from its enactment. [Source]
