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.

It’s hard to believe but this is a picture of the United States reflecting pool before the revolution happened. The US was once a very westernized country.

[A meme featuring a photograph of a sunny day at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., looking toward the U.S. Capitol building. Numerous tourists are seen walking along the paths and wading directly into the clear water of the pool. The text above ironically frames this normal historical photo as if it were ancient history from a lost civilization.]
