Summary:
Researchers at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, are using cell phone towers to pick up identification signals from ships travelling the North Atlantic, and are monitoring the signals to see if ships are detouring around the Roseway Basin, a habitat for endangered whales southwest of the province designated as a voluntary "area to be avoided."
