SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick, April 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Day is April 22, 2019 and to celebrate, we are sharing some environmental highlights from our businesses. Air, land and water are areas where the JDI team works every day to reduce our environmental footprint. Below are some of the efforts and results: AIR LAND Habitat research and conservation is a priority for our Woodlands team.

Each vessel in ATL's fleet - tugboat or offshore vessel - is equipped with a copy of A Mariner's Guide to Whales in the Northwest Atlantic, a guidebook that helps crew members identify and steer clear of whales, dolphins and other marine mammals they might encounter while at-sea. This training helps our mariners protect key populations like the Southern Resident Killer Whales - one of the most thoroughly studied whales in the world that are endangered.
