There had been concernfor years about the proximity of SpaceX's rocket base to endangered species, including a loggerhead sea turtles nesting beach. A group of environmental groups suedthe FAA following SpaceX's April launch, claiming the agency failed to perform an adequate environmental review. As for the harmed species, U.S. wildlife biologists did not find any deceased endangered animal life.

However, biologists note that their investigation into this matter was greatly hindered by SpaceX. Wildlife officials were not allowed into the site area until a whole 48 hours after Starship's launch. This means that any possible animal life that was killed could've been previously removed from the site, washed away by the currents, or eaten by other animals before experts could properly document the aftermath.
