H.R.8904

Introduced·5/19/26

Amends Magnuson-Stevens Act to ensure fishing in marine national monuments is regulated under this Act.

The bill amends the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to clarify that fishing in marine national monuments should continue to be regulated under this Act, not through a Presidential proclamation under the Antiquities Act of 1906. This ensures consistency in the regulation of fishing activities within these areas.
