A team of scientists has a new idea for how to save migrating blue whales from dangerous collisions with ships: shut up and listen. https://www.tectalk.co/scientists-suggest-teaching-ships-to-speak-whale-language/

This is interesting.  The Whales are giving fair warning so ships just need to listen. 

 

How would a full translation help? 

Our current translation suggests we seem to know when the migration start's, and potentially ends.

So, unless the full translation contains a detailed itinerary for the journey, with map coordinate's, we, and they, are no better off. 

The shipping lane's are busy for a reason...

We don't need to listen, we just have to speak whale i.e. copy and paste, or google translate it...

And if that doesn't work, I'm sure a solution will evolve...
