In support of the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (ALWTRP), Industrial Economics (I EC) developed and refined an integrated model to evaluate the potential for endangered Atlantic whales to become entangled in commercial fishing gear.

This long term knowledge of the large whale interactions makes IEC uniquely qualified to analyze the effectiveness of the 2008 ship speed rule on reducing vessel interactions with North Atlantic right whales. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), Only one responsible source.
