From the transcript
In 2016, President Obama further designated the 3.1 million acre Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off the coast of New England, again eliminating sustainable commercial fishing within monument boundaries. The Antiquities act requires no public input and the best available science is not a prerequisite for resource management in those monuments. In fact, no scientific analysis is required at all, thereby turning the Antiquities act into a legacy building mechanism for vain presidents rather than a necessary environmental tool to be used to protect our beautiful resources. By contrast, fishing in nearly all of the US EEZ is regulated under the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and management Act. For 50 years, the act has propelled the United States to the forefront in terms of being the gold standard for fisheries management.
