Deep Sea Fishermen's Union of Pac. v. U.S. Dep't of Commerce (W.D. Wash.) -- concluding that: (1) agency performed adequate search for personal text messages related to fishing observer program on or after September 20, 2017, when a new agency policy required such messages to be forwarded to agency email accounts; (2) agency’s search for all other records was inadequate, in part because agency neglected to explain its search process; and (3) agency’s “withholding log” and declaration were sufficiently detailed.
