Tell President Obama: Protect blue whales

Every year, many blue whales are struck and killed by large cargo ships.

The only real solution to prevent this from continuing to happen is to move the lanes further west. But, this can't happen until President Obama puts pressure on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Department of the Navy to take action.

The injuries to blue whales are shocking and gruesome: burst blood vessels, shattered jaws and ribs, and normally solid muscle is pulverized into mush.

No animal should have to suffer like this, but both NOAA and the Department of the Navy are dragging their feet to take action to protect them.

President Obama can use his influence to get these two agencies to work together to create a solution before blue whales make their journey back to Santa Barbara in just TWO MONTHS, but he needs to hear from you NOW.

Send a message to President Obama, urging him to take immediate action to protect endangered blue whales from large cargo ships.
