I think one of the key benefits is bringing together all of the regional players to work on this issue collaboratively, looking at the ECHO program approaches and the key issues with a combination of approaches, including through education. We developed a mariner's guide and we're working on a “whales in our water” tutorial. We introduced incentives in 2017. We're incentivizing quiet technologies and quiet ship design.
We are also undertaking a number of research projects. We've undertaken over 17 research projects that have in turn helped us to inform trials and mitigation solutions. We're continuing to do those research studies. More is coming over the next little while to better understand what are some of the technologies and what are some of the features of a vessel that contribute the most to underwater noise. For us, I think a key success has been industry's interest in advancing the slowdown trial we undertook last year, the implementation of a slowdown in Haro Strait again in the summer of 2018, and the lateral displacement that's about to wrap up in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
In short, we've had many successes. We approach it from a number of different angles using incentives, education, research and mitigation solutions in a collaborative forum. Really, the strength of the program is the collaboration of its many diverse interests in the region.
