No Time Like Now to Save Orcas
Action Alert from All-Creatures.org
FROM
Center for
Biological Diversity
August 2015
ACTION
Threats continue all along the orcas' migration route, down to the San Francisco Bay and beyond: Fast-moving maritime traffic, coastal pollution, ocean noise, fishing gear entanglements and food supply depletion could all be minimized by new rules.
Take action. Tell the Fisheries Service to end its delays and move forward with a proposed rule extending habitat protection throughout these killer whales' winter range. Species with critical habitat protection are twice as likely to be on the path to recovery as those without.
AND/OR better yet, make direct contact:

INFORMATION
This population of orcas is probably the best studied of the world's
marine mammals. There's a wide body of scientific research that supports the
identification of coastal areas off Washington, Oregon and California as
essential winter foraging grounds, and the best available science
demonstrates the needed habitat protections.
Because the National Marine Fisheries Service already possesses more than
ample data, I urge you to move forward with a proposed rule extending
habitat protection throughout these killer whales' winter range. Time is of
the essence in saving endangered species.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
