Petition on Eastern North Pacific Gray
Whales
On October 21, 2010, NMFS received
a petition from the California Gray
Whale Coalition to designate the Eastern
North Pacific population of gray whales
as depleted under the MMPA. The
petition alleges that the causes of the
decline include the following:
(1) Over-harvesting;
(2) Collapse of cow/calf numbers;
(3) Predation by transient orcas;
(4) Major changes in primary prey and
habitat as a result of climate change; and
(5) Reduction in available prey
species resulting in starvation.
In accordance with the MMPA, NMFS
announces the receipt of this petition,
and its availability for public review
(see ADDRESSES and Electronic Access).
NMFS also solicits comments and
information related to the statements in
the petition and additional background
on the status of the Eastern North
Pacific population of gray whales.
Dated: November 4, 2010.

Acting Chief, Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle

Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
