The extended habitat would overlap with productive fishing areas and high-volume marine transit routes, NOAA Fisheries said, but it also coincides with sightings of the North Pacific right whales, one of the rarest whale species in the world.
The environmental groups said in their petition that physical and biological features in the proposed critical habitat require special management considerations and protections, which could include vessel speed limits like those that are already enforced to protect North Atlantic right whales.
“I think it would be a tragedy to let them go extinct without doing all we can, and we see this as a step towards doing the things that we can,” said Kevin Campion with the Save the North Pacific Right Whale group. He added: “Certainly it’s not everything, but it is a step in the right direction for making sure these animals get to exist on the planet.”NOAA Fisheries is taking comments on the proposal until September and must publish its decision within a year.

I said I didn't know that. He told me he voted for me. So he's another bullshit artist but he's not going to be buying it, although he might later. Who the hell knows what's going to happen?
