Mpa's
I read that a new executive order could stymy recreational fishing in Marine Protected Areas With the recent executive order (EO), recreational fishing gear, bottom trawls, and pelagic longline are viewed the same as all other fishing gear when it comes to designating Marine Protected Areas (MPA). The EO, signed by Biden, calls for closing 30% of U.S. ocean waters to fishing, including recreational fishing, by 2030 through the MPAs. NOAA is supposedly taking comments on this.
