We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit IDA's Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Longline fishing has been illegal along the entire West Coast of the U.S. since 2004 because it poses a lethal threat to "non-target" species like whales, dolphins, sea turtles, seals, sea lions and other aquatic animals. However, the National Marine Fisheries Service is considering an extended fishing permit application that would allow longline fishing for swordfish off the coast of California and Oregon. Please "Take Action" to urge the NMFS to deny the permit.

Also, please tell a friend about this issue and donate to IDA so that we can continue our important work for animals.
