Sounds like a pretty straightforward way to keep ships from plowing into whales. It’s just in the knick of time then, as collisions are an all-too-frequent occurrence along the busy Atlantic seaboard.
The Boston Globe has the story of the new system, just installed in Massachusetts Bay. Here’s the project website itself, complete with maps of the action, plus multimedia so you don’t have to do any pesky reading.

This is so neat! I’m happy for anything that kills fewer whales. And the site’s little interactives are very cool, 2 of my teacher-friends are planning to use them in the classroom.
Great to hear, Jenn. My favorite interactive is the “How big is big?” animation here: http://listenforwhales.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=451&srcid=431
Yes! One friend showed that animation to her 3rd graders, and the whole class went “Whooooooooooooooaa!”
