YES!!!!! Standing up for People and Wildlife! A lawsuit was filed today by Earthjustice, thanks to Pacific Islands Heritage Coalition, Conservation Council for Hawai'i, Center for Biological Diversity and Kapa’a in response to a Proclamation signed by President Trump April 2025 that attempts to lift a ban on commercial fishing in the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument. Encompassing 6 National Wildlife Refuges this monument is located 800 to 1000 miles south of Midway Atoll in the Pacific. You too can take immediate action by signing petitions that threaten wildlife in mass numbers via ACTION buttons. Visit the Pacific Islands Heritage Coalition website where an on-going coalition effort is underway to protect a oceanic ecosystem that provides an overflow of fisheries stock into areas open to commericial fishing, stunning coral reefs, and uncountable numbers of wildlife above and below the sea surface. https://protectpih.com/pacific-coalition-applauds-lawsuit-to-halt-president-trumps-attempt-to-open-pacific-islands-heritage-marine-national-monument-to-industrial-fishing/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwKcklNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHnKwRb4pXKcfD4vUK9uifZrZmoD5zc88aIxSqElIIrRhqPgs64KrQ4Kcw-h4_aem_P3mT3ljSZlEB9Iu9vEo30 (fb)

Amazing story and footage by the British Broadcasting Corporation! Who would have ever dreamed this would have been possible. Big kudos to the White Tern Citizen Science and Na Hoaloha o ka Manu-o-Kū (The Friends of the White Fairy Tern) who inspire and nurture a community of care givers for these precious birds. Meanwhile, over a 1200 miles away at the beginnings of the Hawaiian Archipelago, Midway Atoll hosts the largest population of Manu-o-Kū or white terns in the Hawaiian Islands. #goodbreakingnews (fb)
