We just sued the Trump administration seeking records on a decision that would revoke vessel speed restrictions on the Atlantic coast that protect whales, including critically #endangered North Atlantic right #whales, from deadly ship strikes. Only around 380 right whales remain.
Aerial picture of two North Atlantic Right whales swimming through calm, dark blue water. White text in a black textbox over the bottom of the image reads: "“The public has a right to know who’s behind a government process that could condemn these whales to extinction.” This is a press release quote from Kristen Monsell, our oceans legal director.

Numerous tourists are seen walking along the paths and wading directly into the clear water of the pool.
