SIGN NOW: Stop Big Oil and the shipping industry from KILLING orcas!

CRITICAL: Only 75 Southern Resident Killer Whales remain, and the biggest threats to their survival are the Trans-Mountain Pipeline expansion and the Roberts Bank T2 Terminal, two massive constructs built by Big Oil and Big Shipping for the sake of profit.

We MUST fight back now to stop corporate greed from destroying our oceans and wiping out the remaining orca whales before they are completely 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 75 orca whales left in the Southern Resident pods, and that number is likely to decrease unless your agency enacts federal policies that hold Big Oil and corporations accountable for the damage they are causing.

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

The hazardous chemicals discarded by these massive ships can have far-reaching impacts, including toxic bloom, dead zones, pathogenic bacteria, and even oxygen depletion; they drive orca whales’ food supply away with the noise pollution they generate. In addition, the increase in oil spill risk from the exponential jump in tankers and cargo ships in orca critical habitats could lead to the next oil spill. 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.

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

Sincerely,
