National Marine Fisheries Service Has The Power To Save Turtles, But Will They?

These Leatherback Turtles continue to be slaughtered by the Asian Long Line Fishing Fleets every hour of every day. NO one has any control on the operations of these boats. Here in U.S.A. The National Marine Fisheries Service (a NEW Name for NOAA) is directly responsible for regulating the fishing and marine environmental activities in all U.S. waters, including those of Trust Territories to a 200 mile limit. The heavy money interests of the U.S. flagged fishing boats (including Long Liners) continue to pressure and sway OUR Government representatives to changing the rules of who can fish and where to the detriment of sea creatures. NMFS is attempting right now --- to alter the rules of where boats can fish in costal protected marine preserves and in Hawaii waters to allow boats to fish longer beyond their permit limits AND to kill more creatures, as the endangered Leatherback Turtles. This is WRONG! In the situation of the Leatherbacks, it is DEAD wrong...
