Ottawa proposes $164M in whale protection funding for waters off B.C. coast
>The initiatives that would be covered by the proposed funding including efforts with BC Ferries to more quickly adopt technologies that would reduce underwater noise by up to 50 per cent for vessels sailing in the Salish Sea.
>The federal government says funding would also go toward implementing and enforcing whale protection measures including vessel speed restrictions and fisheries management.
