Don’t gut the 50 YO Marine Mammal Protection Act!

The Marine Mammal Protection Act safeguards vulnerable species like whales, dolphins, seals and sea lions. Proposed changes would weaken protections and prioritize corporate interests over conservation. As a constituent, I urge you to uphold this critical legislation that has successfully revived populations once decimated by commercial exploitation. Gutting these longstanding protections would directly threaten marine ecosystems and enable destructive practices. Please stand firm against any efforts to undermine the MMPA's core purpose of protecting marine mammals.
