Stop Seismic Surveys That Endangers Whales, Like the North Atlantic Right Whale

Whales in our oceans rely on sound when it comes to being safe, finding food and communicate with other whales, especially their young.  However, seismic surveys add noise in their atmosphere that interferes with their normal lives.  You can read more on the proposed seismic surveys by the Obama Administration at https://secure3.convio.net/wcs/site/Advocacy;jsessionid=CBA3DFAB562F819CC44BB6E96CFC6645.app315a?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=885&utm_medium=email&utm_source=WCS&utm_campaign=owned&utm_content=2016-05-13-Wildlife%20Matters&s_src=CAMP_Wildlife-Matters-May&s_subsrc=Wildlife%20Matters&autologin=true

These seismic surveys are a major concern regarding the whales in our oceans, especially the endangered North Atlantic right whales.  Some parts of the Atlantic Ocean is protected when it comes to offshore and gas drilling but action is necessary to stop the seismic surveys.  The whales need sound in order to survive and flourish and the surveys would create an added number of pressures.  The Obama Administration can clearly stop these hazards and turmoil by putting an end to the seismic surveys.

The effort in this petition is to encourage our President and his administration to put a halt to the seismic surveys that is causing further dangers to the already endangered North Atlantic right whales and other whales in our oceans.  You can help with this crucial issue by signing and sharing this petition, adding your own thoughts and comments. 

President Obama – The Wildlife Conservation Society is highly concerned about the seismic surveys that would interfere with the normal existence of whales, especially the North Atlantic right whales and other whales in our oceans.  These creatures totally rely on sound in order to communicate with other whales like their calves, along with finding food and navigating safely through the waters.  These surveys would disrupt their crucial behaviors, endangering them and other marine life.  It is crucial that put a halt to all permits that allow for seismic oil and gas surveys in our oceans like the Atlantic and protect the normal existence of the North Atlantic right whales and other whales.
