Plain-English Summary

The proposal would protect small fish species like anchovies and sardines that form the base of ocean food chains by limiting how much commercial fishing operations can harvest from federal waters. These forage fish are crucial food sources for larger fish, marine mammals, and seabirds, so the restrictions aim to prevent overfishing that could damage entire ocean ecosystems. The rules would affect fishing companies and commercial fisheries while potentially benefiting recreational fishers and wildlife by maintaining healthy ocean populations.
