Warren G. Magnuson's Marine Mammals Protection Act was not in fact created by congress but instead by Senator Magnuson himself. The MMPA was created to ensure that the marine animals of the Puget Sound environment would be safe and have no great harm come to them. Because Governor Dixy Lee Ray was so ignorant and completely on the corporate side, she did absolutely nothing to protect the ecosystem of Washington. Acting quickly, Magnuson showed the bill to congress on October 4, 1977, and the next day it was passed. Right under Ray's nose. If this amendment had not been passed, who knows what the state of Washingtons' environment would be in today.
