Both lawsuits take aim at Trump ’s attempts to drill, baby, drill’ and open up oceans to offshore oil and gas projects.

The plaintiffs in the two lawsuits claim these moves to undo marine protections are illegal.

The first lawsuit challenges an executive order signed by Trump just hours into his second term.

The second related lawsuit was filed by many of the same groups and numerous Alaskan environmental organisations.
