Statement

The risk of collision with whales was created using the EMODnet Human Activities Vessel Density Map 2017, considering all ships, and taking the year average value, together with expert reviewed whale distribution models from AQUAMAPS, version 10/2019 ( https://www.aquamaps.org/ ) for whales that are regarded as having a risk of colliding with ships. Regarding the EMODnet vessel density raster, values over 100 were truncated to 100 to remove high value cells due to ships idling in ports or anchoring sites with their AIS transponders turned on. Distribution model values for blue whale, sei whale, humpback whale, sperm whale, fin whale and northern right whale were summed per 0.5-degree c-squares. The northern right whale model only describes the range of the western population of this species, since the eastern population is probably almost extinct. Thus, the northern right whale model only partly overlaps with the EEA area on interest. Lastly, the summed distribution models were multiplied with the truncated EMODnet vessel density data, which were log transformed (ln+1).
