The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered marine mammals on Earth. With fewer than 400 individuals remaining, every whale matters.

Now, a dangerous proposal threatens to undermine efforts to save this iconic species.

Representative Mike Lawler of New York teamed up with Rep. Jared Golden of Maine to introduce H.R. 9436, legislation that would block the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from developing science-based measures to protect North Atlantic right whales from entanglement in commercial fishing gear until 2035.

Entanglement is a problem that can be solved. On-demand fishing gear, also called ropeless gear, creates a safer ocean for whales and allows fishing to continue. This practice is proven to work, but the whales need NOAA’s science-based protections to help speed up its use.

Unfortunately, H.R. 9436 would tie the hands of NOAA, the very agency charged with preventing the extinction of this species, and make it even harder to address one of the greatest threats to its survival.

Please take action today and urge your Representative to VOTE NO on Rep. Lawler and Rep. Golden’s attack on North Atlantic right whales.

1) SUBMIT YOUR COMMENT TO THE FEDERAL REGISTER. As slide 3 mentions, these comments need to be substantive, so using a tool like the Roadless.org learning plan to access research and put together a (brief but cited) script is your best shot at being counted in the record. When you're ready, submit it online by 9/21 here: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FS-2025-0001-223869

2) CALL YOUR U.S. REPS AND SENATORS. Urge them to oppose the rescission and support the Roadless Area Conservation Act as a key defense tactic. United States Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121.

3) SPREAD THE WORD. The goal is to hit 1 million individual public comments for the legal record by the deadline on 9/21. We CAN reach this ambitious goal (with focused collective effort). Get your friends together and submit your comments together!
