“Opening this sacred place for exploitation is short-sighted and does not consider current or future generations of Pacific People who rely on a healthy ocean, and know this special ocean space as our ancestral home.” 🌊

Finally, a deal with the EU. Notice how other issues have been slipped in, many trade issues.

But it's bad news for fish and our seas. French and other EU countries will continue overfishing for 2 years.

Not Even the #Ocean is Free from Trump
Breaking down the recent #EO upending #marine #conservation
It is a simple fact that in harvesting a renewable resource if the stock of #fish is larger you can catch more by fishing less. Feel free to do the calculations.
The thing about regulation for benefit to the public is that inevitably some of the public don’t want to be regulated or regulated in the way that is in place.

@AlanSill completely agree, as someone who's PhD was on #fisheries #modeling in the #Pacific this is really bad and short sighted

Another article on the same, but this one includes a video and a map of the areas to become unprotected.

As usual, the fishing industry and the politicians it lobbies are short sighted, profit driven and have no concern for the sustainability of the diversity of life in the ocean.

Not that it is at all surprising or even near the top 5 worst things the Trump admin is doing right now.

But attacking the ocean hurts us all, everywhere in the world.
The ocean knows no borders. 🌊

Disguising it as economic opportunity for Pacific Islanders is another lie, just like trickle down.

Study by conservation group finds elevated pathogen levels near B.C. fish farms
The Pacific Salmon Foundation says it found that water near active open-net farms contains four times more pathogens harmful to wild salmon than water near inactive farms.

And why would Trump care about lobsters?

""Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events. Waters in the #GulfOfMaine are warming faster than nearly every other swath of ocean on the planet, threatening the future of the state’s signature #lobster industry and other #fisheries "

Senator #AngusKing fumes at #ClimateChange being nixed from annual threat assessment

Chris D’Angelo for The Maine Monitor April 8, 2025

"#Maine has been described as a 'climate haven,' [the same for #Vermont] a place expected to remain relatively sheltered from the most extreme and dangerous impacts of global climate change. But the #PineTreeState is far from immune.

"Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events. Waters in the #GulfOfMaine are warming faster than nearly every other swath of ocean on the planet, threatening the future of the state’s signature #lobster industry and other #fisheries.

"Sea levels here are forecast to rise approximately 4 feet by the end of the century, forcing coastal communities, shipyards and military installations to prepare and adapt.

" 'This is a guaranteed threat,' said #AmyEshoo, director of #MaineClimateActionNow. 'It’s not one we can negotiate with. It’s not one that we can put #tariffs on. It’s not one we can go to the table with. We unleashed it. It’s here. We’re feeling its effects. Maine is definitely feeling them.' "

Seychelles, an archipelagic nation off the eastern coast of Africa, has become the first country to comply with the Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) standard that lays down what information about a country’s fisheries sector should be published online by public authorities.
