RESTORING AMERICAN SALTWATER ANGLING AND RECREATION
This executive order directs federal agencies (primarily NOAA and the Department of Commerce) to shift fisheries management toward prioritizing recreational fishing over commercial interests by modernizing data collection, replacing outdated mail-in surveys with real-time mobile reporting, and allowing state-collected data to substitute for federal data when error rates are lower. It also mandates reviewing and potentially revising National Standards under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, rescinding regulations that restrict marine access, and launching pilot programs for iconic fisheries like Atlantic striped bass, with the goal of boosting the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation sector.
Reinvigorating America's Hunting Heritage
