I see potential in the recent executive orders to restore America's seafood competitiveness, increasing U.S. consumption of American seafood, investing in infrastructure, and streamlining regulatory barriers are all promising steps. But streamlining can't mean cutting corners. Deregulation and efficiency done right are thoughtful, strategic, and inclusive. Together, we can build a system that works for fish, for business and the country.
