Here's a press release from the Wild Fish Conservancy:

Insane to see one of the smallest and least impactful fisheries get the shaft.
Don't think that they're not coming for all of us next.
Little guy suffers or goes away even though it was NOAA that said America needed bigger boats and the smaller boats were there first and should be protected.

With the stroke of her pen magistrate Peterson destroys the livelihoods of hundreds of trollers in Southeast Alaska supposedly to save killer whales that happen to live in the toxic cesspool that is Puget Sound and the Salish Sea. The toxic habitat plus noise dooms these whales to an unfavorable outcome. Trollers are not to blame.
This is about wind farms.
If you don't agree, ask the lobstermen and other New England fishermen.
Where's my fishery disaster relief? Lots of Southeast trollers are gonna go bankrupt if we don't get some help.
