Just last September, an acoustic monitoring program was established by the Bioacoustics Research Program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in alliance with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for this very reason: to track whales» seasonal migration patterns and provide information to New York state policymakers who develop strategies and management plans to protect these threatened mammals.This listening system originated with the thirteen high - tech
buoys deployed around Massachusetts Bay which sounds an alarm to ship captains warning them of the presence of whales so that they will reduce the sped of their vessels to 10 knots.
