• Resumen

  • The article reports that the U.S. North Pacific Fishery Management Council voted unanimously on February 5, 2009 to prohibit fishing in all U.S. waters north of the Bering Strait. The prohibition, which is due to the fact that the impact of commercial fishing in the area is unknown as of 2009, is reported to protect approximately 196,000 square miles of ocean.
