Help Defend Pacific Halibut
Alaska Marine Conservation Council has joined a diverse coalition of organizations called the Halibut Defense Alliance to help defend Bering Sea halibut bycatch limits in court.
We're asking for your help in covering legal fees to protect a fish that is ecologically important, iconic to West Coast fisheries and essential to the continuation of coastal subsistence traditions and economies.
