Shared from the Whatcom County Working Waterfront Coalition:

The U.S. Justice Department has filed an appeal to last month’s decision by a Federal District Court judge who ruled against the Alaskan Chinook Salmon Troll Fishery.

The Whatcom Working Waterfront Coalition produced a blog post about this lawsuit, explaining the harm it poses to local families and communities. You can find the post on our website, or in our recent ‘On the Waterfront‘ newsletter publication.
