Hi all,

In an exciting development in the fight to save the North Atlantic right whale from extinction, Senators Booker (D-NJ), Isakson (R-GA) and Carper (D-DE) have reintroduced the bipartisan SAVE Right Whales Act.

Please find the Senators' press release here<https://www.booker.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=982>, and our coalition statement here<https://www.nrdc.org/media/2019/190911>.

The SAVE Right Whales Act (S. 2453) would provide desperately needed federal funds to help reduce the impacts of human activities on right whales. This bill comes after a deadly summer for the species; 2% of the world's right whales have died in just the past three months.<https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/two-percent-of-the-worlds-north-atlantic-right-whales-have-died-in-the-last-two-months/2019/07/31/d3de7d1e-ae31-11e9-9411-a608f9d0c2d3_story.html>
