Just a year after determining a new whale species in the Gulf of Mexico, scientists say they're 'on the edge of extinction.'

on the lease sales' environmental impact statement through November 21.

"One stranded whale, a lactating female, was found with injuries consistent with blunt force trauma," scientists noted in their letter."Another, a free-swimming individual, has been observed with spinal deformities consistent with a collision injury." Gulf of Mexico whales are still reproducing, and past research on other baleen whales have shown that populations can recover as conditions in their environment improve.

Their area of the Gulf should no longer be used for aquaculture, offshore wind farms or oil and gas development, scientists said, and vessels should be required to slow down. They also said that drilling should be banned in the areas outside the whales' environment, such as in the Mississippi Canyon, as it poses a"catastrophic risk to the species."
