Petition to Delist Southern Resident Orca from Endangered Species Act Accepted by NOAA

26/11/2012

0 Comments

 
Back in August we brought news of a petition filed by property developers, farmers and commercial fisheries asking the U.S. government to delist Pacific Northwest Southern resident orca from the Endangered Species Act (ESA). 

Sadly, today, we bring news that the petition has been accepted by NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association) and the listing of the small Southern resident population under the ESA will be reviewed.
