Key Ocean Resource In Decline
Whale Feeding Ground Threatened by Trawling and Pollution
The Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Massachusetts is home to a extraordinary diversity of marine life. But trawling and draggers, ship collisions, overfishing, pollution and global warming are damaging the priceless habitat. At Stellwagen Bank, where nutrient-rich waters meet the light of day to create a very diverse food pyramid, right whale, fin, humpback, minke and 18 other marine mammals come to feed from mid-April into October. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) has proposed a Stellwagen Bank Management Plan. The proposal lays the foundation for restoring and protecting the sanctuary's ecosystem. It recommends actions that should be taken now, and some that should be considered in the near future, for this special place. Latest news articles resource references:
