The Whale Detection Initiative will help protect whales in Canada's waters as part of the Oceans Protection Plan. This initiative will provide $9.1 million over 5 years to develop and test technologies to detect whales in near-real time on both the west and east coasts. Detection will help prevent vessel collisions with whales and protect marine mammals.

Funding will go toward projects that will: develop and test whale detection technologies capable of providing up-to-date information on the presence of whales; reduce the threat of vessel collisions with whales on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
