Navy Requests Higher Whale-Killing Quota After Ship Strikes
Published Date: 1/16/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The U.S. Navy’s training and testing in Hawaii and Southern California might accidentally harm a few large whales. After three whale strikes between 2018 and 2023, the Navy got permission to accidentally harm two more whales by vessel strikes through 2025. This rule keeps Navy activities going while protecting marine mammals, balancing safety and training needs without extra costs.
