Support IFAW's campaign: ""Blue speeds" for commercial shipping"

The "Blue Speeds for Commercial Shipping" campaign aims to set better legislative standards to reduce the negative impact of the shipping industry on marine animal populations within European waters. Reducing ship speeds ("blue speeds") is an effective and easily implemented solution to reduce three major environmental threats. Indeed, a 10% reduction in the speed of commercial vessels will have the following immediate effects:
- 40% reduction in underwater noise pollution;
- 50% reduction in the risk of ship strikes with whales;
- 13% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from ships.
