National Oceanic and At- mospheric Administration fisheries officials want to reclassify humpbacks into 14 distinct populations, and remove 10 of those from the list. The last time the agency delisted a species due to re- covery was more than two decades ago. "As we learn more about the species — and realize the populations are largely independent of each other — managing them sepa- rately allows us to focus protection on the animals that need it the most," Ei- leen Sobeck, assistant NOAA administrator for fisheries, said in a state- ment. Humpbacks were listed as endangered in 1970, four years after the Inter- national Whaling Commis- sion banned commercial whaling. The whales have re- bounded in the North Pa- cific since the listing, which requires federal ap- proval for federally funded or authorized activities that could harm whales or their habitat. Last year, the state of Alaska filed a petition to remove some North Pacific humpback whales from protection under the En- dangered Species Act. That population, estimated at more than 5,800, feeds in Alaska in the summer and breeds in Hawaii in winter. Rebecca Noblin, Alaska director for the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that while it's a good sign that the whales are being considered for removal from the list, it might be premature. "On the one hand, it's good news that the whales are recovering. I think this population of whales is do- ing really well, and that shows that the Endan- gered Species Act works," she said. However, she said whales continue to be vulnerable to factors including climate change and ocean acidifi- cation, which affects the prey stock. "It would really be ben- eficial to continue to have the protections of the En- dangered Species Act as the oceans change," she said. NOAA said in a release announcing its proposal that protection and resto- ration efforts have led to an increase in humpbacks in many areas. The last time a species' recovery prompted delist- ing was in 1994, when the agency removed the eastern North Pacific population of gray whales from the list. Under the latest plan, two of the humpback pop- ulations would be listed as threatened, in Central America and the Western North Pacific. The agency said these whales at times enter U.S. waters. The other two popula- tions — in the Arabian Sea and off Cape Verde and northwest Africa — would remain listed as endan- gered. Humpbacks are found around the world. They weigh 25 to 40 tons and can grow up to 60 feet long, ac- cording to NOAA's website. The whales are primarily dark gray with some white spots, and their pectoral fins can get as long as 15 feet. If the proposal passes, the humpback populations that are removed from the endangered list would still be protected under the Ma- rine Mammal Protection Act. The public has 90 days to comment on the recom- mended changes.
