Help protect critically endangered North Atlantic right whales

Help us save North Atlantic right whales from extinction

Take Action

There are approximately 372 North Atlantic right whales remaining on our planet. The U.S. and Canadian governments must take immediate action to implement stricter regulations to save this species from extinction.

To save these magnificent creatures, it is imperative that the U.S. and Canadian governments take immediate action.

Yet, instead of taking the necessary steps to protect this critically endangered species, they're trying to delay action. This is unacceptable. The harsh reality is that we absolutely cannot wait any longer to save this species.

The responsibility of saving the North Atlantic right whale does not solely lie with these countries; all global citizens must take action.

The truth is we could lose this species within our lifetime. The time to act is now.

Join us today to protect North Atlantic right whales in their fight to survive the increasing threats from entanglement and vessel strikes.

We are urging NOAA, the US Coast Guard, Congress, Transport Canada and the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Ocean to:

Increase compliance, enforcement and awareness within the existing 10 knot speed regulation in North Atlantic right whale management areas;

Expand support for the testing of innovative gear solutions (i.e., on-demand and acoustic) for trap/pot and gillnet fisheries within the habitat and migratory corridors of the North Atlantic right whale;

Strengthen and increase transparency into cross-border collaborations and cooperative federally driven initiatives to holistically address North Atlantic right whale conservation practices

I am writing to express my concern about the current measures in place to protect critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. With approximately 372 remaining in the population and fewer than 70 reproductively active females, this species needs our help now more than ever.

While efforts have already been implemented to help reduce the threats to North Atlantic right whales, more needs to be done. The U.S. and Canadian governments have the responsibility to save this species as well as the legal and moral obligation to act swiftly. The science is clear, this species faces two primary threats, entanglement in fishing gear and vessel strikes. I strongly urge you to do the following to help reduce these threats and save this species:

Increase compliance, enforcement, and awareness within the existing 10 knot speed regulation in North Atlantic right whale management areas;

Expand support for the testing of innovative gear solutions (i.e., on-demand and acoustic) for trap/pot and gillnet fisheries within the habitat and migratory corridors of the North Atlantic right whale;

Strengthen and increase transparency into cross-border collaborations and cooperative federally driven initiatives to holistically address North Atlantic right whale conservation practices

The actions we take today will determine the future of this species. It's going to take all of us to save them. Please do your part.
