Riverkeepers from New York and Delaware plan to sue to prevent the endangered Atlantic sturgeon — a prehistoric creature that can weigh as much as 800 pounds — from being caught and killed in commercial fishing nets.

The environmental groups on Thursday announced their intent to sue New York, New Jersey and Delaware to prevent commercial fisheries from taking or discarding the sturgeon while out trawling the ocean for flounder, striped bass, and other fish that end up on dinner plates.
