Groups Urge NOAA to Protect Marine Monuments
Environmentalists and scientists are calling on the NOAA to keep commercial fishing out of marine monuments.
The Trump administration has been criticized for lacking transparency in its process for gathering public input on the matter.
President Donald Trump’s April executive order, titled “Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness,” could have substantial impacts on five marine monuments if commercial fishing is allowed.
A letter signed by over 230 scientists and 53 ocean conservation organizations highlights the potential harm to marine ecosystems, including physical damage to habitats, harm to marine mammals, coral, and other ocean life.
- Physical damage to pristine habitat for fish
- Harm to marine mammals, coral, and other ocean life
- Risk of permanent damage to sensitive ocean ecosystems and local economies
Authors summarize: Groups urge NOAA to protect marine monuments from commercial fishing.
