Plain-English Summary

This bill would update how the government collects and manages information about fish populations and commercial fishing activities, replacing outdated systems with modern technology to get more accurate data. Better fishing data would help regulators make smarter decisions about which fish species need protection, how many fish can be safely caught, and where fishing should be allowed or restricted. The changes would affect commercial fishing companies, recreational fishermen, and government agencies that manage ocean and freshwater fisheries.
