Tragic news: Whales are dying at alarming rates along the West Coast. Dozens have been found dead off California, Oregon, and Washington this year, and the count is still rising. According to a new study focusing on the San Francisco Bay, nearly 1 in every 5 gray whales entering the bay dies — and more than 40% of the time, ship strikes are the cause. There's a way we can help: limiting vessel speeds in key whale habitat. This is a tried-and-true way to reduce tragic whale deaths and injuries, especially for mothers and calves, who are at greater risk from ships because they spend a lot of time near the ocean's surface. Join us in urging NOAAFisheries and the USCG to require vessel speed limits where whales are most likely to be. 🐳 [Video description: An gray whale calf swims alongside an adult in green-hued water.
