The proposal would give federal authorities the power to set fishing rules and limits in marine national monuments, which are protected ocean areas. Currently, fishing regulations in these underwater protected zones are unclear or limited, so this change would let the government manage what fish can be caught there and by whom. This would affect commercial fishing companies, recreational fishers, and coastal communities that depend on ocean resources.
