You’ll Never Believe What’s Happening to the Rice’s Whale!

#shorts #endangered whale species #Rice’s whales #NOAA #Gulf Scientists are sounding the alarm about the Rice’s whale, an endangered species that lives in the Gulf of Mexico. Only 51 of these whales remain, and they’re in danger from oil spills, ship strikes, and noise pollution. Conservationists are petitioning NOAA to designate a critical habitat for the whales, but the oil and gas industry is fighting back. They say that designating a critical habitat would hurt commerce in the region. So, what’s the solution? Well, we could stop drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. That would definitely help the whales. But that’s probably not going to happen anytime soon. So, for now, the Rice’s whale is on the brink of extinction. And it’s all because of humans. [120 words]
