The front page of this morning's Honolulu Advertiser has a story above the fold about the controversial Hawaii Superferry integrating so new high tech devices on their vessels. According the Advertiser, the Hawaii Superferry is installing a high-tech thermal imaging system that could detect whale spouts more than a mile away and reduce the risk of collisions with humpback whales.
Perhaps this will address one great level of concern about the ecological soundness of this transportation alternative. Read the full story about whale tech on the Hawaii Superferry.

Perhaps not.

Good point Brad. Better policies and sensibilities will help as well right? Let's hope they get it.
I'm sure that is costing them a lot of money, but I'm glad they are doing something to help save these wonderful animals!
