Whale Hell Looms in Massachusetts
Opinion -The potential damage to whales and other marine mammals is clearly huge, based on the official NOAA Fisheries impact authorization estimates. It is hard to see how this hell can be allowed under present laws, such as the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. -
DC’s One-Sided, In-the-Tank ‘Think Tank’ Discussions
