The Future of Eastern North Pacific Gray Whales
Gray whales are showing signs of extreme stress with significant unusual mortalities, reduced reproductive rates, increased proportion of malnourished whales, and changes in foraging behavior. The result has been a precipitous drop in numbers – the latest estimate of 13,000 animals is less than half of the 27,000 of ten years ago.
What Can You Do?
The Marine Mammal Protection Act Needs Your Support!
The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) requires your support. A draft revision to the MMPA was proposed on July 8, 2025. The proposed revisions would dismantle the protections that the MMPA has ensured for the past 50 years. The MMPA represents a success story in the field of marine mammal protection. It is imperative that these protections remain intact.
The proposed amendments seek to relax existing regulations, prioritizing economic development and industries such as oil and fishing over the well-being of marine mammal populations. These amendments also shift the regulatory burden away from these industries and onto environmental organizations. These proposed amendments will dismantle regulations safeguarding endangered marine mammals, such as North Atlantic right whales and Hawaiian monk seals.
