We just got word that the 9th Circuit Court ruled in favor of trollers and against the Wild Fish Conservancy this morning.
We are thankful that the 9th circuit had the wisdom to overturn the lower court’s decision and trolling can continue in Southeast.
The lower courts decision would have been disastrous for the many small Southeast communities that have long history of harvesting King salmon throughout our waters.
ATA is also thankful to the many individuals and businesses and communities that contributed to our legal fund. We have heard that our input was very helpful in illustrating the potential harms to our entire region.
And special thanks to everyone who helped, especially those who wrote affidavits and assisted on our behalf!
