A timelapse video illustrates the movement of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz following the recent US-Iran agreement that reopens this critical shipping route after a period of conflict. #StraitOfHormuz #IranAgreement #ShippingRoutes
Scientists are warning of an increased risk of whale-ship collisions off South Africa's south-western coast due to changing shipping routes resulting from Middle Eastern conflicts, with significant increases in commercial vessels navigating around the Cape of Good Hope since 2023, prompting calls for more data and changes in shipping practices to mitigate the danger. #MarineConservation #ShippingRoutes #WhaleSafety #ZA #YE #US #IL #IR #AS #EU

Scientists warn that changing shipping routes due to conflicts in the Middle East have significantly increased the risk of collisions between whales and ships off South Africa's south-western coast, with nearly double the number of commercial vessels navigating the region, while efforts to address the issue face challenges due to limited data on whale populations and collision rates. #WhaleConservation #ShippingRoutes #MarineWildlife #ZA #US #IL #IR #YE

Scientists are warning of a heightened risk of whale-ship collisions off South Africa's south-western coast due to changing shipping routes prompted by the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, which have led to a significant increase in commercial vessels navigating around the Cape of Good Hope. #WhaleConservation #ShippingRoutes #MarineWildlife #ZA #US #IL #IR #YE

Scientists warn that altered shipping routes around South Africa due to Middle East conflicts have significantly increased the risk of whale-ship collisions, with nearly double the amount of commercial vessels navigating the region, while efforts to address the issue are hindered by a lack of data on whale populations and collision rates. #WhaleConservation #ShippingRoutes #MarineBiodiversity #ZA #US #IL #IR #YE
