"A growing number of Gray Whales in the sub Arctic waters are
contaminated. As bottom feeders, these whales are vulnerable to toxic
pollution. Recent data from our worldwide sampling of sperm whale
blubber - The Voyage of the Odyssey - show that many whales are polluted
to levels that make their meat unsafe for human consumption-a sufficient
cause to discontinue whaling."
DR ROGER PAYNE
"The California Gray Whale is an indicator species of the sub Arctic
and Arctic Oceans. With major changes taking place in the
polar marine ecosystems, ensuring ongoing research into the major
threats facing these majestic whales is critical. In the light of
these changes, Gray Whales deserve the highest legal
protection."
DR SLVIA EARLE
"Gray whales face many
pressures, such as lack of food, coastal development and increasing ocean
noise. They need better protection."
JEAN-MICHEL
COUSTEAU
"And God created the great whales
there in Laguna San
Ignacio"
HOMERO ARIDJIS
"the possibility that we might drive these magnificent creatures into
extinction is unimaginable and unacceptable."
DARYL HANNAH
"Life began in the sea. So goes the whale...so goes
mankind. An effort to save the whales benefits us all."
BEAU
BRIDGES
"Thanks for leading the fight to save
the Gray
Whales"
ED BEGLEY JNR
"The Gray Whale is the
marine mammal symbol of California. It deserves to be protected and
honored. I support the creation of a "Whale of a Day" tribute to
this magnificent animal."
PRINCE FREDERIC VON ANHALT
"The Gray Whale faces a myriad of threats from climate change to sonar
testing and oil exploration. They need our help and the California Gray
Whale Coalition is a leading advocate for this important keystone
species."
PEDRO NAVA
"When we fully understand and begin to meet the threats to the
California Gray Whale, we will be addressing the problems that face North
America's entire Pacific coastal ecosystem."
LYNN WOOLSEY
"Saving the Gray Whales from extinction is an absolute must.
This magnificent, intelligent species cannot be allowed to perish from
this earth. If we ignore their plight we ignore the eventual impact
on all species, including our own, of the rapacious practices of mankind."
SARA WAN
"Gray whales need our immediate attention! Due to climate change,
their Arctic food supply is diminishing and the numbers of mother-calf
pairs on the long migration are the lowest in years."
