Save our right whales
Tell the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries: Do everything you can to save our right whales.
Subject: Do everything you can to save North Atlantic right whales
Your Letter:
Dear Director McKiernan, As a resident of Massachusetts, where the ocean forms an integral part of our state identity, keeping our beaches, coasts, and marine species and habitats healthy matters deeply to me. North Atlantic right whales, which swim in Massachusetts' waters, are one of our most at-risk species. First, I'd like to thank you and the Division of Marine Fisheries for drafting a strong proposed rule. In particular, I was glad to see the inclusion of more seasonal closures to fishing during the time of year that right whales are likely to be in the area. This is the type of bold action we'll need to save these whales. I write today to urge you to include language that implements a pathway for the development and implementation of ropeless fishing gear. We know that the best way to prevent entanglements is to remove rope from the water, and the development and adoption of ropeless gear will provide a long term solution to this problem.
