Environmentalists’ lawsuit challenges Trump’s order to allow commercial fishing in Pacific monument

Environmentalists are challenging President Donald Trump's executive order, claiming it removes key protections from the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument and opens it to commercial fishing.
The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service informed fishing permit holders they could fish commercially in the monument just a week after Trump's proclamation.
David Henkin, an Earthjustice attorney, stated that the order unleashes harmful commercial fishing on some of the planet’s most pristine, biodiverse marine environments.
The lawsuit argues that allowing commercial fishing harms the cultural interests of Native Hawaiians connected to the area.
