Seward Residents to Hold Memorial for Pregnant Fin Whale Struck by Mega-Cruise Ship
Residents in Seward, Alaska, will hold a public memorial and procession on Friday for the pregnant fin whale hit by a mega-cruise ship in the Gulf of Alaska.
Seward residents and the Center for Biological Diversity are demanding that Royal Caribbean and other cruise ship companies immediately implement a speed limit of 10 knots or less when traveling through sensitive whale areas or when whales are present across Alaska.
“It’s crushed me and our small town to have this majestic pregnant fin whale carried in dead on the bow of a mega-cruise ship,” said Jamie Lyons, Seward resident and water taxi captain.
