There are less than 200 false killer whales living within 90 miles of Hawaii shores.
A recent study says the group is in danger of inbreeding and getting caught on fishing lines.
18 months ago, the fisheries service recommended the false killer whale population living in hawaiian waters be listed as an endangered species.
Under federal law the agency had a year to decide.
Now, the natural resources defense council has filed a suit to force a decision by the fisheries service.
