House Gives Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization New Life

The election of Mary Peltola, who was recently sworn in to complete the term of Representative Don Young, gives new life to H.R. 4690, the Sustaining America’s Fisheries for the Future Act.

Should H.R. 4690 become law in its current form, it would require fishery managers to consider climate-related spatial shifts in stock abundance, and create a mechanism for regional fishery management councils to address stocks that shift into waters under another council’s jurisdiction.
