On August 20, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a
permit under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act authorizing a limited number of
seabirds to be killed or injured by Hawaiian swordfish vessels. This action is
the first permit ever issued under the MBTA – America’s foremost law protecting
migratory bird species – to regulate the "take" of migratory birds in
the operation of an otherwise lawful commercial activity.
