Re: Modern Fishing Act HR 200 Needs Your Support
o:you Details
Dear Mr. Sanborn,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the “Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act,” also known as H.R. 200. This legislation was introduced by Rep. Don Young of Alaska on January 3, 2017 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
If enacted, this legislation would change requirements for the fishery management plans for overfished fisheries and alter catch limit requirements by authorizing Regional Fishery Management Councils to consider changes in an ecosystem and the economic needs of the fishing communities when establishing the limits.
As you may know, I will not have the opportunity to vote on this bill until it is approved by the relevant committee. However, I will certainly take your views into consideration should this legislation come to a vote before the U.S. House of Representatives.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts on this issue. If you’d like to stay updated on my work in Congress, I’d encourage you to sign up for my newsletter by clicking here.
