The first two U.S.-based cruise lines announced mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for guests and crew today, a measure that s been discussed but not yet widely adopted by the industry. American Queen Steamboat Company and Victory Cruise Lines company, both part of the Hornblower Group, said the move expands upon enhanced health and safety measures already in place, including pre-cruise COVID-19 testing of all guests and crew, and requiring masks in all public areas where social distancing is not possible. The coronavirus vaccine mandate will apply to sailings on both lines beginning July 1, 2021, and will apply to guests as well as on-ship crew members and non-ship, corporate employees.

Today, Earthjustice on behalf of a coalition of fishing and conservation groups returned to court to challenge the latest federal plan for hydropower operations on the Snake and Columbia Rivers.

This is the eighth incarnation of this long legal fight to restore endangered salmon and steelhead.
