Till I see what they define as critical habitat, this is only half a pie.
The whale has always flirted with this kind of danger. It was like that old children's cartoon, 'Are you my mother?' Orcas are very social animals, and this was the only way to get his social needs met.
They really need to start monitoring marine acoustic pollution and how much whale watching goes on. We say there are problems but we don't know how big a problem it is because we haven't even measured that.
It's everybody's turn. It's about caring for your car so it doesn't leak oil, using organic alternatives in the garden.
I'm just amazed that they'd try to salvage this political train wreck and make a campaign issue out of it.
