@davabel Kind of a weird premise. Plaintiffs claim that it’s defamatory to say that gear used in 14 US and Canadian fisheries, and known to cause entanglements, might pose some risk of right whale extinction given the uncertainty? And that raises First Amendment concerns?

@EPA @POTUS NOT

Ironic that this workshop starts a couple of days after the first calf of the season washes up on Cumberland Island. The opening remarks from Janet Coit went to the heart of it all - we need solutions. Soon.

@DrJohnWaldman So incredible! Thanks for sharing

@pxwhittle @AP For a few years, lobstermen and other commercial fishermen bearing the brunt of meeting PBR have said, it’s all about the ship strikes. Hopefully they will come forward now and demand accountability. Boats can go slower and still meet bottom line.

There will be no whaling in Iceland this summer! 🥳

This is HUGE!

Together with the support of other marine charities and a public outcry in Iceland and abroad, we've saved around 150 fin whales from a painful and horrific death this year.

The Icelandic Government's own advice is that the "method used when hunting large whales does not comply with the Animal Welfare Act." The Minister of Food, Svandís Svavarsdóttir has made it clear that unless the government and license holders can guarantee to meet the welfare requirements (which it can't), whaling has no future!

@NOAAFish_NEFSC @NOAAFisheries Another 5 year ITR. Wish you all did one year Letter of Authorizations. Hard to predict best available science that far out.

Great comments by @RepHuffman at the vessel strike reduction rule hearing. And in response to Rep Westerman, your “extreme hyperbole does a disservice to this complicated issue.” Yup.

@ErikHoffner @davabel Pretty sick ethics

Ocean acidification threatens marine species & ecosystems. That’s why it’s imperative to promote federal, state, local & Tribal collaboration on this issue as outlined in @chelliepingree’s bill. #OceanClimateAction

On Saturday, a critically endangered North Atlantic right whale mother/calf pair was spotted in Cape Cod Bay for the first time this year. Meet 21-year-old Porcia and her baby, one of just 12 right whale calves to be spotted this season. @CCSPtown @WCAI_NPR @GBHNews

@Staci__Rubin @CLF You are the best! Good luck in your new role. The world and the state need more of you.
