This is @NOAAFisheriesAK exact mode of operation. Support destructive trawl fisheries because it is financially and politically favorable to NOAA. When fish populations crash they roll out the "climate change" excuse.

It’s completely incomprehensible that one of the most destructive ways of fishing is permitted in Marine Protected Areas. What exactly are these areas protected from? Please contact @SteveReedMP to urge action on this crucial issue to protect & restore our seas. @OceanaUK

David Attenborough has spent years sounding the alarm on factory trawling, and he’s right: bottom trawling is one of the most destructive practices in our oceans. Alaska needs leaders willing to stand up to the trawling lobby and protect our fisheries before it’s too late.

Monk seal attacker’s lawyer says he was radicalized by extremist anti-pinniped rhetoric from fishermen and politicians in Washington: “He lives in Washington State, he’s a fisherman… and if you’re familiar… if you’ve ever been to Seattle… the sea lions are very aggressive.”

The measured waste alone Trawling in Alaska is ecocide. The unquantified damages to the seafloor is sickening. @NOAAFisheries is corrupt for promoting trawling.
