Support EarthJustice's efforts to close this terrible loophole:

Many of New England's most important groundfish populations -- which also include haddock, pollock, and other species --are severely depleted from years of overfishing. Despite this fact, federal fisheries managers recently created a loophole that allows industrial herring fishermen to catch groundfish inside a spawning sanctuary that was designed to speed their recovery -- then dump fish they don't want regulators to see without any type of monitoring.

The Fisheries agency is conducting hearing on this issue and need the general public to weigh in:

Please submit your comment to the National Marine Fisheries Service and tell them we need to know what is being caught inside this critical groundfish sanctuary. We need a rule that would close this loophole and require that all catch caught by herring midwater trawl ships be counted
