Last week, unbeknown to the cetaceans, an existential moment arrived when the Trump administration made the extraordinary decision to scrap all protections for the Rice’s whale, along with other endangered marine life in the gulf, in service of an industry that has facilitated the overheating of our oceans and our atmosphere. It may result in the first extinction of a whale species in North American waters in 300 years.
My heart is heavy, collapse is ugly.
Even if we fail to protect them we will fight with the memory of Rice’s Whales long after they are gone.
