	May 12, 2008 Bowhead Whales are – by far – the oldest living mammals! Help find "dolphin deadly" tuna in the USA! You can plan an important role in helping document dolphin-deadly tuna in your local market – and helping kick it out of the country MONK SEALS WIN in GPF court case! Note from President Susie White: I'm very pleased to report that we WON the Hawaiian monk seal case! Judge Samuel King took the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to task, ruling that NMFS violated federal law by failing to protect the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal from the impacts of the lobster fishery and the portion of the bottomfish fishery operating in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. His ruling found NMFS in violation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and he issued an injunction permanently enjoining the lobster fishery until NMFS completes an analysis of the fishery's impacts under the ESA as well as an Environmental Impact Statement. Greenpeace Foundation and our co-plaintiffs, the Center for Biological Diversity, and Turtle Island Restoration Network thank our attorney, Paul Atchitoff of the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund for his fine work on this case and of course, Judge King for his in-depth analysis and sound decisions on behalf of the monk seals. We are awaiting the judge's ruling on an injunction against the bottom fishery.
