The U.S. President signed an executive order aimed at reforming federal fisheries management, prioritizing recreational fishing, modernizing data collection, and removing unnecessary restrictions. The executive order notes that the U.S. outdoor recreation industry generates over $1.2 trillion annually and supports more than 5 million jobs. It directs relevant agencies to review national standard guidelines within 180 days to ensure consistency with the order's objectives and to consider revising standards to better reflect the unique biological, economic, and social characteristics of recreational fisheries, while also promoting the rapid integration of state-level data into federal management decisions.
