“Bycatch continues to be a persistent problem in fisheries across the United States. It is more than just wasteful to ocean fisheries and wildlife – bycatch brings significant ecological, social, and economic consequences to every corner of the U.S. We applaud Rep. Peltola’s leadership on reducing harmful bycatch with the introduction of the Bycatch Reduction and Mitigation Act and the Bottom Trawl Clarity Act. Increasing funding for bycatch mitigation efforts and better regulating bottom trawling will promote more sustainable fishing practices that can help rebuild stocks, promote ecosystem health, and support fishing businesses and fishery-dependent communities into the future." - Robert Vandermark, Executive Director https://lnkd.in/eZG4Vm8H
