Environmental organizations reach out to FAA regarding SpaceX’s impact on wildlife 

BOCA CHICA, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Save RGV and other organizations have sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration claiming SpaceX has unlawfully destroyed migratory birds.

The letter was also sent on behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity, the American Bird Conservancy, the Surfrider Foundation, and the Carrizo Comecrudo Nation of Texas, Inc. It focuses on the June 6 test launch of SpaceX's Starship.

The document states the launch resulted in the documented unlawful destruction of migratory bird nests that are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

"Accordingly, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should take appropriate enforcement action to ensure that rocket launches do not continue to break the law, and the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") may not lawfully authorize further launches until the SpaceX program is brought into compliance with the MBTA," the letter states.
