Georgia Aquarium Battles Federal Government Over Belugas

An anonymous reader writes: The Georgia Aquarium has argued in court that the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s denial of its permit to import beluga whales from Russia was arbitrary and capricious. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service says the aquarium failed to meet the requirements of a law meant to protect marine mammals. Both sides accuse the other of twisting the facts, a NOAA lawyer accuses the aquarium trying “to confuse the court,” and a lawyer for the aquarium says the government had “cooked the books” on whale population numbers.
