PROTECT NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES

NOAA is considering weakening the Vessel Speed Rule. Since 2008, this rule has helped minimize the risk of deadly collisions with boats for North Atlantic right whales. Slow zones save lives and with only about 380 of these whales left in existence, every speeding boat is a threat. Take action today to help protect North Atlantic right whales from speeding boats.
