punto de acceso<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nATLANTIC CITY, NJ (AP) \u2013 Los senadores dem\u00f3cratas estadounidenses de cuatro estados quieren que los funcionarios ambientales federales aborden una serie de muertes de ballenas en ambas costas, instando a la \u201ctransparencia y puntualidad\u201d en la publicaci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n sobre las muertes de ballenas y sus causas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La llamada del martes por la noche de los senadores de Nueva Jersey, Robert Menendez y Cory Booker; El senador de Connecticut Richard Blumenthal, el senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley y el senador de Rhode Island Sheldon Whitehouse a favor de la acci\u00f3n de la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional Oce\u00e1nica y Atmosf\u00e9rica marcaron la primera solicitud de acci\u00f3n a gran escala de los legisladores federales dem\u00f3cratas sobre un tema que se ha politizado r\u00e1pidamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hasta ahora, la mayor\u00eda de los legisladores republicanos han pedido una pausa o un cese total del trabajo de preparaci\u00f3n de parques e\u00f3licos marinos, a los que culpan de la muerte de ballenas a lo largo de la costa este de EE. UU. desde diciembre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pero en su carta a un administrador de la NOAA, los senadores dem\u00f3cratas no culparon, ni siquiera mencionaron, a la energ\u00eda e\u00f3lica marina como una causa potencial de las muertes. Numerosas agencias federales han dicho que no hay evidencia que lo vincule con muertes de ballenas, muchas de las cuales se determin\u00f3 que fueron causadas por colisiones con barcos o enredos con artes de pesca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En una declaraci\u00f3n a The Associated Press el mi\u00e9rcoles, Booker dijo que quiere que la agencia proteja a las ballenas y se comunique r\u00e1pidamente sobre cualquier muerte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPara proteger a estos animales, debemos seguir los hechos y abordar las causas de muerte conocidas y documentadas\u201d, dijo. "Sabemos que los hallazgos preliminares de la NOAA para muchas de las ballenas que se arrastran a lo largo de la costa atl\u00e1ntica este a\u00f1o han mostrado evidencia de un choque con un barco".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los senadores expresaron una preocupaci\u00f3n particular por dos muertes de ballenas francas del Atl\u00e1ntico norte en peligro de extinci\u00f3n, aunque la mayor\u00eda de las muertes de ballenas involucraron a las especies jorobadas m\u00e1s abundantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSin acci\u00f3n, la (ballena franca del Atl\u00e1ntico norte) probablemente se extinguir\u00e1\u201d, escribieron. \u201cSi no actuamos, otras especies de ballenas pueden enfrentar el mismo destino\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lauren Gaches, vocera de la NOAA, dijo que hasta el mi\u00e9rcoles se han registrado 30 muertes de ballenas en la costa atl\u00e1ntica desde el 1 de diciembre. Eran 21 ballenas jorobadas; tres cachalotes; tres ballenas minke; dos ballenas francas del Atl\u00e1ntico norte y una ballena sei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los senadores tambi\u00e9n expresaron su preocupaci\u00f3n por la muerte de ballenas grises en la costa oeste, donde 298 de los animales han llegado a la costa desde 2019. Algunas mostraron signos de emaciaci\u00f3n, pero la NOAA dijo que se necesita m\u00e1s investigaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La NOAA ha declarado "eventos de mortalidad inusuales" que involucran ballenas en ambas costas, incluido uno en la costa este que data de 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaches dijo que la agencia trabajar\u00e1 directamente con el Congreso para abordar cualquier inquietud que pueda tener sobre el tema y la respuesta de la agencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los senadores pidieron a la NOAA que detallara c\u00f3mo planea abordar y prevenir las muertes de ballenas; describir los procedimientos de la agencia para notificar al p\u00fablico cuando se descubre la muerte de una ballena y cuando est\u00e1n listos los resultados de los ex\u00e1menes de necropsia; y enumere los desaf\u00edos que enfrenta la agencia para determinar las causas de las muertes de ballenas, y si las acciones espec\u00edficas del Congreso o la administraci\u00f3n podr\u00edan ayudar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se\u00f1alaron que desde 2008, la NOAA ha implementado regulaciones de velocidad de embarcaciones para reducir la cantidad de muertes de ballenas causadas por choques con embarcaciones, y que las reglas actualizadas sobre el tema deben presentarse en junio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El 16 de marzo, cuatro congresistas republicanos celebraron una audiencia en Wildwood, Nueva Jersey, para pedir una pausa en todos los proyectos e\u00f3licos marinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El representante Christopher Smith de Nueva Jersey pidi\u00f3 una pausa en dicho trabajo hasta que la Oficina de Responsabilidad del Gobierno de EE. UU. pueda investigar la "suficiencia de los procesos de revisi\u00f3n ambiental para proyectos e\u00f3licos marinos". A \u00e9l se unieron el tambi\u00e9n republicano de Nueva Jersey Jeff Van Drew, Andy Harris, de Maryland; y Scott Perry, de Pensilvania, prometiendo audiencias adicionales y demandas de informaci\u00f3n, y alegando que las agencias federales han ignorado las expresiones de preocupaci\u00f3n de uno de sus propios cient\u00edficos sobre los efectos de los parques e\u00f3licos en las ballenas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
