President Trump Restores Commercial Fishing Access in Pacific Marine National Monuments

President Donald J. Trump has signed a proclamation to restore commercial fishing access to nearly half a million square miles in the Pacific, including areas within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. This action is part of the 'America First Fishing Policy,' aiming to boost U.S. domestic seafood production, support American jobs, and enhance food and national security by removing what the administration deems unnecessary restrictions.
