In the #lawsuit filed last year, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity alleged the agency #failed to establish a plan to #protect the #whales from #deadly #entanglements in sablefish pot gear. In a December 2021 permit, #NOAA authorized "the incidental, but not intentional" take, or catch, of listed or #protected #MarineMammal #species in the #Washington , #Oregon & #California #sablefish pot fishery.
