To amend the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to provide for the regulation of fishing in marine national monuments.

Summary

The bill adds a new subsection to the Magnuson‑Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act that prevents the President from using the Antiquities Act to prohibit or regulate fishing in marine national monuments. Instead, fishing in those areas will continue to be governed solely by the Magnuson‑Stevens Act and any other applicable laws. This ensures a consistent, fisheries‑focused regulatory framework for those protected waters.
