*[Enwl-eng] Endangered right whales are being killed by boats

[enwl]

                        These deaths are completely preventable.









                        Officials Ditched a Lifesaving Law for Endangered 
Whales. They Must Reverse This Deadly Decision.

                        Recent plans to expand protections for the 
critically endangered North Atlantic right whale were reversed in a shocking 
decision by the The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
Fisheries Service. Since 2020, at least 16 right whales have been killed or 
injured by boats. With just 70 reproductive females left in the wild, time 
is running out. This decision is a severe threat to their survival, and must 
be reversed.



                        Sign the petition to demand the NOAA Fisheries 
reverse this decision immediately and implement mandatory speed limits and 
stronger protections to prevent fatal vessel strikes!



                        Last year alone, four right whales, including two 
breeding females and their calves, were killed in U.S. waters due to vessel 
strikes. Research has proven that reducing vessel speeds to 10 knots or less 
drastically reduces the risk of these fatal collisions. Despite experts 
tirelessly advocating for this, NOAA has stepped back from enforcing speed 
restrictions that could save lives. Sign the petition to demand that NOAA 
Fisheries reinstate and enforce protections for our ocean's guardians!




                 Thank you,
