Environmental activists are suing the U.S. government to obtain unaltered images of dead marine mammals, including orcas and sea lions, caught in commercial fishing gear. The lawsuit alleges that the government is obscuring the graphic evidence of the impact of fishing practices on marine life.
Activists sued the federal government Thursday to release images of dead orca whales, sea lions and other marine mammals entangled by commercial fishing boats off the U.S. West Coast. The complaints were filed after the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service released heavily altered images of dead marine mammals caught in U.S. trawl fisheries, obscuring their content.
The activists argue that the government is withholding graphic evidence of the dangers of commercial fishing practices and wants to know the full extent of the problem
