Crabbers File Big Oil Climate Suit

摘要

An organization representing commercial fishing on the US West Coast has become the latest group to sue major international oil companies to seek compensation for damages they say were caused by climate change. The Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations (PCFFA) has filed suit in California state court over the closure of the lucrative Dungeness crab fishing season, which has been shut down for portions of the past four years due to algae blooms that have been linked to warmer ocean temperatures.
