Congressman Sam Liccardo requests NOAA’s response regarding rising gray whale deaths in the Bay Area and associated concerns.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Sam Liccardo has raised concerns regarding the recent spike in whale deaths in the Bay Area, which he notes has reached a 25-year high. In a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Liccardo, alongside 20 other lawmakers, seeks clarity on the agency's response and any potential links to budget and staffing cuts.
Liccardo emphasized the importance of whale populations as indicators of ocean health, stating, “These deaths are heartbreaking for our coastside community and coincide with a chronically understaffed and underfunded NOAA.” The congressman has posed several questions to NOAA regarding the causes of the deaths and the agency’s ongoing response efforts.
The letter requests information on the agency’s current contingency plans, testing theories about the spike in whale mortality, and how NOAA is managing local grant funding disruptions. A full copy of the letter is available online.
