VANCOUVER, B.C.—Port Metro Vancouver is researching the impact of large ships on whale habitat.

With the support from the University of Victoria’s Ocean Networks Canada and JASCO Applied Sciences, the port has deployed a hydrophone listening station in the Strait of Georgia that will monitor underwater vessel noise, which is a threat to whales.
