This is more preemptive I suspect- 'they' have been reclassifying different species trying to get a bona-fide Gulf endangered one to use against exploration and production. Especially that one whale subspecies.

This kills that on multiple fronts.

I guess the whole Whales killed by wind turbines thing turned out to be concern trolling then. What a surprise!

		No- making a fake endangered species to shut down operations that don't actually harm the species (endangered or not)... Is hardly the same as objecting to activities that distress pretty much all animals in the vicinity long term.
