Abstract Vessel strikes threaten many large whale species. Managers employ several mitigation measures to reduce vessel strike risk, including establishing or modifying vessel routing measures, such as shipping lanes. However, most studies utilized to inform the configuration of shipping lanes only consider a limited number of potential lanes, and in ...
