Shocked, truly shocked, that companies running fast ferries at speed in whale habitat are… running fast ferries at speed in whale habitat. Pelagos has had “advised” limits for years, and “advised” is doing the heavy lifting here. Nobody ever expected a shipping line to slow down because a sign politely suggested it. Voluntary speed limits for money-making boats were always a joke. Hard rules with fines, or stop pretending this is a surprise.
