I became aware of this issue several months ago when it seemed too late to stop it. I didn't know legal groups were fighting it but the Center for Biological Diversity seemed to declare the issue dead, so I had no hope.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! I'm so happy about this. I need to find out if this is still permitted off the west coast, because I think it was re-permitted there too. So called mile high nets are awful and trap not just whales but all sorts of creatures.
