Petition: Tell Congress to Increase Funding to Save Endangered Marine Species

Every day, marine mammals and sea turtles fight for survival against an onslaught of threats including Climate change, Pollution, and deadly fishing gear entanglements. Despite the critical state of over one-third of our marine mammal species, the budget for the National Marine Fisheries Service, tasked with their protection, has remained flat. It’s time for Congress to act swiftly and decisively.

Please sign this petition to urge Congress to approve the proposed budget increase for the National Marine Fisheries Service.
