John, we’ve sent you emails in the past about endangered whales – and we have an important update on what SEEC Members are doing to protect them.
SEEC Co-Chair Doris Matsui and SEEC Member Jared Huffman have just introduced the Whale CHARTS Act, which will authorize $3 million to focus on protecting eight endangered species of whales. And what’s more, it’s bipartisan!
Two Republicans joined SEEC Members in introducing the Whale CHARTS Act, which just goes to show that we can still reach across the aisle and make progress on our key priorities – no matter what we’re up against. And wherever there’s an opportunity to advocate for endangered species and our precious oceans, SEEC Members will seize it!
This new bill requires NOAA fisheries to conduct new research on whales to provide more accurate information about their core feeding and calving habitats, as well as their migration patterns. It authorizes $3 million for this research, paying special attention to sperm and baleen whales which play crucial roles in our ocean’s biodiversity and food chains.
Supporting climate champions in Congress is key to ensuring that we are proactive when it comes to research and conservation – learning more about our vast oceans and marine life is going to empower us to do just that. We’re crossing our fingers that the Whale CHARTS Act moves forward, and we’ll keep you posted!
