Show Notes
The Rices whale, one of the worlds rarest species, faces extinction due to Trumps plans for increased oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists warn of risks like ship strikes, noise pollution, oil spills, and climate change. The Interior Department meets to consider a national security exemption, threatening endangered species protections. Experts fear this could lead to a surge in exemptions, endangering not just the Rices whale, but also manatees, sea turtles, sperm whales, and corals.
