Presented at MODSIM 2001 International congress on Modelling and Simulation

Collisions with ships are a major cause of mortality (~35%) for the severely endangered North Atlantic right whale Eubalaena glacialis, currently numbering only around 370 individuals. Although having a great impact upon the chances of survival of th...
