Plain-English Summary
The legislation would strengthen enforcement against illegal fishing on federal lands and waters by increasing penalties for violations and giving federal agencies better tools to catch and prosecute poachers. It would affect recreational and commercial fishermen, Native American tribes with fishing rights, and federal land managers who work to protect fish populations and ecosystems. The bill aims to reduce overfishing and protect fish species from being depleted by people fishing without proper licenses or in restricted areas.
