President Donald Trump has issued a formal order to reopen a protected area in the Atlantic Ocean to commercial fishing. The site, known as the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, was originally established by Barack Obama. Trump argued that well-managed fishing would not harm the environmental site, framing the decision as a way to support the lobster industry in Maine. While commercial fishing groups welcomed the move, environmental organizations strongly criticized the decision, and some have already pledged to challenge it in court.
