Larger ships do strike.

The latest mammal standings have not been confirmed as ship strikes. Important to get the facts right.

Most of the sub-100’ boats you’d find in Belmar do not hit marine mammals, as a collision would be catastrophic for the vessel, operators keep a lookout and have the ability to dodge.
