Environmental groups Oceana and Greenpeace this week filed suit against the National Marine Fisheries Service in a bid to block expanded commercial fishing in the Aleutian chain.
The suit is a reaction to the new federal policy on Steller sea lion protections.

So how is this this going to coincide with the article below? With GOA Pollock and P Cod TAC up 13.8% and 16.2% respectively and Atka Mackerel up almost 70% in BSAI? Seems bass ackwards after reading it on NOAA's page... http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/newsreleases/2014/sslpm112414.htm
It is the beloved Alaskan members on the North Pacific Council who thought it was a good idea to starve Stellar Sea Lion babies by giving their food to the 2 foreign companies who have 86% of Atka Mackeral TAC- FCA and Ocean Peace, another fact the Council and MARAD continue to ignore every year.
oceana and greenpeace both receive "donations" from fish farm companies.
