Environmental groups sue Trump for opening marine monument to fishing

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 17, 2020

Environmental groups—the Conservation Law Foundation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Center for Biological Diversity and Zack Klyver, a naturalist at the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co. in Maine—are suing President Trump over a decision he announced during a June 5 visit to Maine to open a national marine monument off the coast of southern New England to commercial fishing, arguing the president’s proclamation is in violation of federal law.
