SIGN NOW: STOP Big Oil and the shipping industry from driving orcas toward extinction!

Only 73 orcas are left in the Southern Resident pod, and these endangered animals are NEARING EXTINCTION.

When Big Oil corporations and the shipping industry pollute water, the sensitive habitat of the orca whale is fatally disrupted. Innocent whales are then forced to try and navigate these man-made interferences to their habitats that are destroying their food supply and making it impossible for them to survive.

We must STOP Big Oil and the shipping industry from threatening the existence of orca whales before these precious animals go extinct.

Dear National Marine Fisheries Service,

Your agency is tasked with protecting our oceans and marine life. That means protecting orca whales from extinction by stopping Big Oil and the shipping industry from polluting their direct environment — the ocean.

There are only 73 orca whales left in the southern resident pod, and that number is likely to decrease unless your organization enacts federal policies that hold Big Oil and corporations accountable for the damage they are causing.

Two of the biggest threats to orcas right now are the Roberts Bank T2 Terminal and the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

The hazardous chemicals discarded by these corporate ships can have far-reaching impacts including toxic bloom, dead zones, pathogenic bacteria, and even oxygen depletion, and it drives orca whales’ food supply away. They cannot survive with these interferences to their natural habitats and disruptions to the entire ecosystem.

I’m calling on you to take immediate action to protect orcas from extinction by enacting stronger protections for southern resident orcas main food source – chinook salmon. I also ask that you demand stronger mitigation measures for the oil tankers and cargo ships from the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and Roberts Bank T2 terminal projects to mitigate the disturbances and risk of oil spills they present to orcas and their critical habitat.

Please do your part and stop Big Oil and the shipping industry from pushing southern resident orcas toward extinction.
