Dear National Marine Fisheries Service,
Attached please find the names and messages of 1255 individuals urging the Service
to reject the misguided attacks on the Rice’s whales’ status as a critically endangered
species, and instead dedicate the agency’s resources to taking vital and overdue
action to ensure the survival and recovery of our treasured Gulf whale.
Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you for your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Alisha Wadhwa
