NGOs ask court to block US seafood imports from 9 countries over marine mammal bycatch

The groups allege that the countries are failing to adhere to a US import rule on bycatch prevention.

NGOs that have filed a lawsuit against the US government say some foreign countries exporting seafood to the United States are not meeting standards meant to protect dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions and whales.
