Environmentalists’ lawsuit challenges Trump’s order to allow commercial fishing in Pacific monument
- Environmentalists are challenging President Donald Trump's executive order, claiming it removes key protections from the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument and opens it to commercial fishing.
- The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service informed fishing permit holders they could fish commercially in the monument just a week after Trump's proclamation.
- David Henkin, an Earthjustice attorney, stated that the order unleashes harmful commercial fishing on some of the planet’s most pristine, biodiverse marine environments.
- The lawsuit argues that allowing commercial fishing harms the cultural interests of Native Hawaiians connected to the area.
