NBC correspondent Anne Thompson reports on the US Coast Guard and NOOA attempting to keep whales out of danger amid a dangerous increase in shipping traffic.

Anne’s field crew didn’t luck into a great encounter, so they filled the good, long segment with our footage captured during last year’s killer whale health cruise.

NBC was great about adding credit for the images: “Bob Friel/Seadoc Society” along with the federal permit numbers we operated under in order to legally approach and study the whales.
