Trump goes against environment; reopens commercial fishing at Northeast Canyons

WION • June 6, 2020

US President Donald Trump has taken a decision that is not being lauded by the experts, only this time it is the endangered species who will bear the consequences.

In a roundtable conference with fishing industry representatives and Maine officials, Trump announced reopening of commercial fishing at the Northeast Canyons. The Northeast Canyons is a marine conservation area off the New England coast. The new order by Trump to allow commercial fishing in this area has not garnered positive remarks by the experts, as they believe that commercial fishing in the area will be a critical threat for endangered right whales and other fragile marine life. Experts believe Trump's decision will threaten the end for right whales and other endangered marine animals.
