CNN 's John Sutter reports on a whale that died in a collision with cruise ships and container ships.

Number one and # 2 threats to whales are ship strikes and entanglements in fishing gear.

Slower ships emit less air pollution and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases they emit out of their stacks.

Ship captains receive word of whale locations from buoys and gliders so they can slow down.

But on the West Coast , slowing down is voluntary on most of the East Coast , so ships continue to kill northern right whales.

At whalesafe.com, you can see the paths of the ships, the locations of the whales and letter grades for shipping company compliance.
