Dear Friend of Save The Whales,
We're giving you some ideas on how to help Save The Whales that are easy and that mean a lot to this organization. Throughout the year, we have focused a lot of attention on many issues and brought you whale and marine mammal news through our E-letters and our increasingly popular Facebook Page. Thank you for your continuing support. Much of our work has been on the very endangered vaquita porpoise. To bring attention to the vaquita, we produced a video in English and Spanish which was created through the talents of Joe Delugo. Petitions are attached to the videos or link to them in English or Spanish. Please sign and ask your friends to do the same. Accomplishments 2014

At Amazon, a suggested purchase is War of the Whales by Joshua Horwitz.This true story tells how NRDC attorney Joel Reynolds stumbled across one of the Navy's best-kept secrets. It was the little-known effect of sonar killing whales around the world. Joel teamed up with marine biologist Ken Balcomb who had been baffled by mass strandings of whales at his research station in the Bahamas. Balcomb had been racing with his research team to collect the physical evidence causing these deaths. Save The Whales is mentioned in the book because of the action they brought with NRDC in 1994 against the Navy to stop Ship Shock detonations in the Channel Islands located off the coast of Southern California. At the time the preliminary injunction was filed, the Channel Islands were designated as a marine sanctuary but the Navy said the location was "convenient."
Heard in the United States District Count, Central District, an injunction was granted, and the detonations were not approved. One detonation farther from land was all the Navy was allowed. If their plans had been granted, the blasts could have killed over 10,000 animals. It was NRDC's introduction into what would become their battles with the U.S. Navy over sonar and its subsequent killing of marine life. |
