Resume de l’article : Course au large et protection des cétacés: « Il faut se positionner comme lanceurs d’alerte »

Article summary and answer:

The article discusses the conflict between offshore racing and the protection of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises). High-speed boats used in offshore racing can injure or kill cetaceans, and noise from the boats can disrupt their communication and feeding. The article mentions a study that found a correlation between an increase in boat traffic and a decrease in the number of sightings of certain cetacean species.

The solution proposed in the article is for offshore racing organizations to act as « whistleblowers » and report any sightings of cetaceans to authorities, who can then take measures to protect them. This approach has been successful in other industries, such as aviation and wind energy, where companies report sightings of protected species to help minimize negative impacts.

Therefore, the answer to your question is that to minimize the impact of offshore racing on cetaceans, racing organizations should act as whistleblowers and report sightings of cetaceans to authorities.
