Seafarers have a love of the oceans and take great joy from sharing the environment with marine life. In fact mariners and shipping companies are often considered protectors of the oceans as can be seen by the huge efforts being made by individuals and the industry as a whole to prevent pollution at sea. Sadly, despite our best efforts, strikes on marine mammals such as whales and dolphins continue to have an impact.
