    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is extending the public comment period for a permit application from SeaWorld to conduct research on a non-releasable beluga whale from the endangered Cook Inlet population. This extension is due to additional information received from SeaWorld, which requires more time for review. The current permit allowing SeaWorld to hold the beluga whale is also proposed to be extended for six months. The new deadline for submitting comments is March 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Marine Fisheries Service is letting people have more time to share their thoughts about SeaWorld's plan to study a special beluga whale, and they also want to allow SeaWorld to keep the whale longer while they think about this new plan.
