A draft agreement which the Obama Administration will likely sign off on in the next week or so will see a 10 year quota set for Gray Whales.Setting a 10 year quota is neither scientific or responsible. The California Gray Whale is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and currently experiencing the fourth consecutive season of very low calf counts.Action needed now, protests must be sent to Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator Dianne Feinstein.

For nearly 30 million years beautiful, magestic Gray Whales have prospered in the great seas of the west coast of North America. These, graceful beings are known for the fervour with which they defend themselves when under attack from whalers and their natural predators, the Orca.

While they have survived ice ages and other extreme natural threats, it is clear that they are unable to defend themselves against the intensity of human activity.

It is therefore incumbent upon us to provide protection and to ensure their continued survival.

The California Gray Whale Coalition will work to ensure a future for this ancient whale. By disseminating information and promoting their plight, we will turn the tide and gain proper legal protection along the entire migration route.
