In correspondence with the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries, WGA submitted policy recommendations in light of the Subcommittee’s February 26, 2025, hearing, Evaluating the Implementation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. The letter, signed by WGA Executive Director Jack Waldorf, reads, “as the Subcommittee contemplates potential amendments to the Endangered Species Act, the Governors’ resolution offers a blueprint for common sense, bipartisan priorities for the protection of threatened and endangered species. I hope you will consider the Governors of our western states and territories as resources to help inform this discussion, and they stand ready to assist you in this important work.” Read the correspondence in full for further details.
