Fast ferries keep speeding through Mediterranean whale sanctuary

A Guardian investigation using Veson Nautical data found that large ferries and cargo ships run by four companies, including Grimaldi Group, Corsica Ferries and Baleària, continue to exceed advised speeds in the Pelagos sanctuary, a key habitat for endangered sperm and fin whales. Vessel collisions are a leading human-caused cause of death for these whales, researchers say.
