Good news, bad news, good news for turtles: Pacific sworfishing banned

The good news is the U.S. is banning longline swordfish fishing,
starting April 12, in the region from the west coast to Hawaii.

The bad news is the U.S. is responsible for only 5 percent of the
swordfish fishery.

The long term good news is this at least puts the U.S. in a better
moral position to get other countries to take action.
