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

- 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.
