Drift Nets

The Trump administration unlawfully withdrew a plan to limit the number of whales, turtles and other marine creatures permitted to be inadvertently killed or harmed by drift gillnets used to catch swordfish off California, a federal judge has ruled.

The European Union's (EU) executive yesterday proposed to ban all use of drift nets in EU waters and on its vessels by year's end to better enforce the protection of dolphins, sharks, swordfish and bluefin tuna.

South Korean recovery workers strengthened a ring of netting around a sunken ferry Monday to try to prevent corpses drifting away as dive teams recovered 11 more bodies, raising the death toll to 260.
