Alaska Man Sentenced for Killing and Selling Marine Mammals

An Alaska man who pleaded guilty to Federal wildlife charges in connection with the illegal killing and sale of protected sea otters, sea lions, and harbor seals will spend over three years in Federal prison and pay a $5,000 fine. A two-year Service undercover investigation documented the illegal take of some 75 sea otters and uncovered the defendant's plans to market 40 to 50 hides per month to a broker in Korea.
