Not a single marine mammal has gone extinct in U.S. waters since the Marine Mammal Protection Act was enacted 45 years ago.

This bedrock conservation bill has helped us protect whales, dolphins, seals, and manatees against dangerous industrial activities, including offshore oil and gas operations. But all this could quickly change if Congress votes to gut this critical Act. 

Speak out today to protect the remarkable mammals that call the sea their home.

Thanks for urging your representative to oppose bills gutting the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, Amended 1994. The U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) protects all marine mammals, including cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), sea otters, and polar bears within the waters of the United States.

I am not actually into sea creatures because I have this weird feeling that they are not that friendly at all. I have been thinking this way ever since I was in grade school until one day, the school that I was attending decided to have our annual school trip in an amusement park that has full of fishes and other sea animals. I have to say that it was the day that the negative thoughts that I had about them changed for the better. I would really love to see dolphins and discover how great they are! I would also like to see the beauty of our ocean and try some sea activities and adventures.
