The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council is asking fishermen for recommendations on ways to reduce the
burden on domestic fishing.
President Donald Trump recently signed
an Executive Order on Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness
and Economic Growth.
The aim of the Executive Order is to
improve the competitiveness of the domestic seafood industry, put
more Americans to work, and place more sustainably sourced and
safe-to-eat seafood products on our families' tables.
The Executive Order requires the
Regional Fishery Management Councils to submit a prioritized list of
recommended actions to reduce burdens on domestic fishing and to
increase production within sustainable fisheries.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council would like the public's help to identify ways that would
remove barriers to fishing in the Gulf of Mexico while continuing to
follow sustainable practices.
So if you know any existing regulations
that may be outdated or unnecessarily burdensome to fishermen you can
suggest changes to guidance documents or Council procedures that may
reduce barriers to American fishing.
You can make your suggestions on-line
at gulfcouncil.org.
Do it soon, the Council will review all
responses at its August meeting.
