"Conservation Group Sues Trump Administration Over Sharks" [1]

"An environmental group is suing the Trump administration, demanding it protect a species of shark.

Oceana argues that a rule issued last month by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) does not go far enough to protect dusky sharks from overfishing.

The lawsuit was filed against the Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the NMFS."
