Abstract

Highlights: Incentivized approaches effectively slow vessel traffic for conservation benefits. Incentivized slow transits do not affect vessel behavior outside of program areas. Compared to incentive programs, voluntary slow speed programs have low compliance. Managers can implement incentive programs to affect shipping company behavior.
