THE MOST ANCIENT BALEEN WHALE ALIVE TODAY NEEDS YOUR
HELP!
For nearly 30 million years majestic Gray Whales have
roamed many oceans. In the 21st Century only one viable race
survives, THE EASTERN PACIFIC GRAY WHALE. Its relative, the
Western Pacific Gray Whale is ecologically extinct.
These magnificent whales defend their young. In the old
days, the whales were known as "Devil Fish". Today, in the
balmy Mexican Lagoons where Gray Whales give birth and nurture
their young, Gray Whales will come to the "Pangas" (small
boats) and allow themselves and their calves to be scratched
and stroked; A MIRACULOUS EXPERIENCE!.
Whilst these Whales have survived ice ages and other
extreme natural threats, they are unable to defend themselves
from human activity and intense industrialization along their
migration route. Climate change is having a devastating effect
on their feeding grounds.
Many whales are starving as a result. 10 percent of the
current migration are emaciated.
The CALIFORNIA GRAY WHALE COALITION has
been created to ensure the remaining Gray Whale population is
relisted under the US ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT. A three nation
effort, the Coalition represents economic and environmental
interests.
The CALIFORNIA GRAY WHALE COALITION is dedicated to protecting the most
ancient Baleen Whale on Planet Earth.
