3MTSim is a dynamic model of boats and whales developed by our team. It is currently being used to explore alternate marine traffic management scenarios for the Saint Lawrence Estuary. This project, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Parks Canada and the GREMM, has led to ongoing discussions about ways to mitigate the effects of marine traffic on large whales that use the estuary as an essential feeding ground.
