A Right Whale Mother And Calf Off The Florida Coast
Whales are just like us, they want a family,
a nice place to live and to be free to live
there, in peace.It’s a nice thought but, unfortunately for them, the Oceans are getting smaller everyday and for the biggest mammal on the planet, are becoming very crowded and may soon become terribly loud.
Right now, seismic
blasting is being considered as a
potential drilling option in the
Atlantic Ocean, in the exact corridor
where the single most Endangered Whale on
our planet lives and breeds, the
Atlantic Right Whale.
The impact of this blasting will be
disastrous for them for several reasons,
they may be
harmed directly by the blasting
and they will no longer feel safe to breed
in the area.
Last year, the birthing numbers for this
critically endangered whale was down
dramatically,
because of
food shortages up North, can you
imagine what it will be like, for these
extremely
noise sensitive whales, if they
are exposed regularly to constant blasting?
It will simply be unbearable.
And, the Whales are not the only ones who
will be greatly harmed by this proposed
blasting, so will Dolphins.
We do not need to drill or dig, for more
oil, gas, coal or other fossil fuels in this
Country, what we need are more
renewable energy sources.
Which, if it were more profitable for those
who deal in fossil fuels, would already have replaced them here.
Other countries all
over the world, have long ago embraced
renewable energy sources, but America seems
to be either unable or unwilling to make the
progress absolutely necessary to protect and
preserve both the environment and animals of
this planet, including the human ones.
