Fishing in the United States has become quite complicated, with our smaller, independent fishermen facing the most challenges. The good news is that President Trump is committed to addressing these issues. In April, he signed an executive order titled Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness, which is intended to reduce regulatory burdens and restrictions to ensure that the American fishing industry can thrive. President Trump's executive order directed the Secretary of Commerce to work with the eight regional fishery management councils to make the necessary changes to reduce regulatory burdens to adopt new technologies to improve management and work with stakeholders across this community. Today's hearing is intended as a signal to those stakeholders that Congress will support President Trump in these efforts and will work with this administration to develop the necessary approach to charge a better path forward.
