The Senate will consider dangerous policy putting this critically endangered species at risk of lethal fishing gear entanglements.

We can balance protecting whales and advancing renewable energy

This rule is the only one that protects the few remaining right whales from vessel strikes. Weakening it would be a reckless abandonment of our responsibility to protect endangered marine life and the health of our oceans for generations to come.

Commercial fishing gear frequently entangles, injures, and kills critically endangered North Atlantic right whales.

Since 2017, vessel strikes have killed or injured at least 27 critically endangered North Atlantic right whales, including mothers and calves.

The defamation lawsuit against the Monterey Bay Aquarium threatens all advocates’ ability to speak up.

This fully preventable death shows that we must act quickly to prevent further losses and the eventual extinction of the North Atlantic right whale.

The Endangered Species Act protects more than 1,600 species across the United States – but today, it’s under threat.

Intentionally speeding in areas identified as particularly risky for migrating right whales, especially vulnerable moms and newborn calves, is inexcusable.
