Fishermen battling with changing oceans chart new course after Trump’s push to deregulate
- On April 17, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the executive order 'Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness' in Stonington, Maine, targeting U.S. Fishing regulation reform.

- This policy could reopen closed fishing areas and ease restrictions, potentially benefiting fishing communities but raising concerns from conservation groups about risks to fish populations.
