Nine orcas were found dead in trawl nets this summer. Alaskan trawl fisheries also kill and injure humpback whales, fin whales, bearded and ringed seals, Steller’s sea lions, northern fur seals, and Pacific walruses. So last week we launched a lawsuit against NOAA Fisheries for failing to protect marine mammals in Alaska's #BeringSea from massive bottom trawl nets. The lawsuit states that the Fisheries Service must re-evaluate the harms of the fishery and immediately adopt mitigation measures to reduce the risk of more deadly bycatch of whales, seals, sea lions and other species.
