Proclamation: Restoring American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific
Summary
This proclamation reverses prior national monument fishing bans in the Pacific by reopening hundreds of thousands of square miles of waters in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and Rose Atoll Marine National Monument to commercial fishing. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to amend or repeal inconsistent regulations, allows only US-flagged vessels to fish commercially (with limited permits for foreign transport vessels), and reaffirms that all fishing remains subject to existing federal conservation laws such as the Magnuson-Stevens Act, Endangered Species Act, and Marine Mammal Protection Act.
