Maritime Professionals:
The right whale migration and calving season along the Mid-Atlantic and
Southeast coasts of the United States (ie. Long Island and south) comes to
an end today, April 30, 2012. The Mid-Atlantic Seasonal Management Areas
will remain closed until November 1, 2012 and the Southeast Seasonal
Management Area and the WHALESSOUTH Mandatory Ship Reporting area will
remain closed until November 15, 2012. Vessels can make full speed while
transiting in these areas while the season is closed. In addition, vessels
entering the WHALESSOUTH Mandatory Ship Reporting area are not required to
send a message until the season reopens on November 15, 2012.
While the 2011-2012 right whale migration and calving season has ended,
vessels are requested to remain vigilant and immediately report any
sightings to the Coast Guard via channel 16.
We had a great season. While only six births were reported, there were no
reported ship strikes. Thank you for your continued protection of these
remarkable animals.
The National Marine Fisheries Service has published an assessment of the
Final Rule that established speed restrictions for vessels transiting areas
where right whales are normally present during certain times of the year.
The report focuses on four metrics established to determine the rule's
effectiveness: Changes in ship strike death rates; Changes in vessels
operations; Quantification of mariner outreach efforts; and Economic
impacts on the maritime industry. Click here to view the report. At a
minimum, I recommend marine interests read the Executive Summary and the
section entitled "Conclusions and Recommendations" that starts on page 37.

Dear Friend,
Funding for the Post 45 Project is making major strides through various
levels of government.

Yesterday, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee completed its mark up
of the FY13 Budget and retained funding proposed for Charleston's deepening
project.

Also this week, the South Carolina Senate passed a bill authorizing the
state to borrow up to $120 million for harbor deepening construction to
cover the federal share of the project, if federal funds are not available.
This measure, in addition to the $180 million already set aside for the
state's share of construction, underscores South Carolina's strong
commitment to completing the project as expeditiously as possible.

We are extremely grateful for the broad support this project is receiving
from our elected leaders, stakeholders and the general public.

Best Regards,
Jim Newsome
President & CEO
