PLEASE SIGN & SHARE!! Ban Drift Nets in California thepetitionsite/355/681/749/ban-drift-nets-in-california/#sign But fish are not all these nets catch. They also catch 100s of sharks and sea mammals-Califorinia sea lions, endangered sea turtles, dolphins, endangered sperm whales, gray whales, and humpback whales. Once sea mammals are caught in the drift net they became trapped and unable to surface- thus drowning since sea mammals have lungs and are air-breathing. Fishermen do not return to check the drift nets for long periods, leaving the mammals to die. These deaths are not only cruel and unnecessay, but unsustainable as many of the mammals they trap are already endangered. We ask the Governor to ban drift nets off the coast of California and protect the wildlife in the Pacific Ocean.
