From the transcript
I now recognize myself for a five minute opening statement. This afternoon, the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries will hold a hearing on four bills that are focused on empowering the fishing sector and and our coastal communities, encouraging effective management of marine resources and restricting executive branch overreach. The bill at the heart of this hearing is sponsored by Representative Radawagan of American Samoa. Her bill states that within the boundaries of a marine national monument, fishing shall be regulated under the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management act, not the Antiquities Act. Multiple use is a cornerstone of how we manage and care for America's public lands and waters and Congress has typically established a high bar for precluding productive uses within broadly defined areas.
