A group of marine biologists, scientists and conservationists—and several celebrities—have asked a judge in Atlanta to allow them to file a brief backing a decision by the National Marine Fisheries Service to bar the Georgia Aquarium from importing 18 beluga whales to the United States from Russia.
Hollywood stars including Kim Basinger, Shannen Doherty and Hayden Panettiere, as well as the producers of the documentaries “Blackfish” and “The Cove,” and scientists such as Jean-Michel Cousteau, Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Sylvia Earle, Denise Herzing, Janet Mann and Emory University’s Lori Marino are among those who have petitioned U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg to allow them to publish the brief in the court record.
