A regulator picks the thing it can enforce, and the choice does not stop at enforcement. Washington chose yards. In the same few years it stood down the drone program that was scoring these whales' body condition, made a commercial reporting stream optional in the same bill that demanded an effectiveness report, and left standing a set of rules under which the location of an endangered orca is a controlled good, exempt from public disclosure and available in real time only to institutions. Meanwhile a voluntary ship slowdown a few miles south reports its results in decibels measured on hydrophones. Two programs, one water, and only one of them can tell you whether it worked.
Go look at: San Juan Island on any free vessel tracking site. There is a closure down the west side that motorized whale watch boats may not enter, year round, whales or no whales. See whether the fleet's tracks draw you the line.
