SUPPORT PROTECTING FOR THESE ENDANGERED WHALES 🐋

The Gulf of Mexico is home to Rice's whales, one of the world's most endangered whale species. Fewer than 50 of these magnificent mammals remain — yet they have no federally protected critical #habitat.

Rice's whales are hovering on the brink of #extinction. Vessel collisions, #oil spills, and chronic #noise from #SeismicBlasting and other #OilIndustry activities all threaten their survival.

WE HAVE UNTIL AUGUST 11 TO STOP MASSIVE SEISMIC BLASTING

The #SeismicBlasting proposal between Victoria and Tasmania impact #BlueWhale habitat and the #ZeehanMarinePark .
A joint venture between seismic survey companies #TGS and #SLB-Schlumberger is trying to get regulatory approval for seismic blasting over 55,000 sq km of our #oceans. Now is our chance to provide public comment that these plans should be refused to protect our oceans and #MarineLife.

#SeismicBlasting is deadly for #MarineLife and can impact all levels of the #FoodChain from its very foundations, killing #zooplankton more than a kilometre away, to deafening #whales.

Send an email asking #NOPSEMA to reject the proposal using our form and prefilled submission.

« #Greenpeace: The Makhanda High Court JUST revoked #Shell's exploration rights to do #seismicblasting off the #WildCoast in #SouthAfrica! This is a massive victory for communities fighting to put people before destruction and the profits of toxic fossil fuel companies. »
