I can't speak to any specific reasons because I don't make those sort of decisions, but the category you applied for is basically huge for a new editor. I'd suggest you try one of the categories listed http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Travel/Specialty_Travel/Ecotourism/Dolphins,_Manatees,_and_Whales/Regional/North_America/United_States/ here or one of the other ones in the Regional subcategory (lots of choices under 20 sites). Do a good job with a smallish category and you likely should be able to be editing that larger category in not that long.

If you apply again, make sure that the sites fit the category. Not too broad, not another kind of tourism. If you apply for a subcategory, not whale-watching in another geographical area.
