Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here at such an early time of day.
I have a couple of questions. On the east coast, as you know, we have had deaths of about 12 or more right whales. I know that has affected your industry. We know that going forward this is not going to go away, due to different reasons. We have large mammals getting injured, and maybe smaller ones that we may not even know about. I guess we haven't determined exactly what the cause of death was, but we know that some of them may have collided with the larger vessels.
To Ms. Spalding, has your industry proposed any solutions, or technology, or anything that can mitigate the harming of those species?
