US EditionTrump ends Obama-era restrictions on commercial fishing in protected area off New England
- On Friday, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation reopening protected parts of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument to commercial fishing east of Cape Cod.
- Trump had rolled back protections in 2020 and President Joe Biden later restored them, and Trump signaled in May that he would restore fishing while pushing a broader order earlier this year to ease burdens on fishermen.
- The president wrote that `appropriately managed commercial fishing would not put the objects of historic and scientific interest that the monument protects at risk,` and commercial fishing groups voiced support on Friday.
- Environmental groups have been highly critical of reopening the monument, and some opponents have vowed to fight in court after a federal judge blocked commercial fishing in the area.
- The White House said the move would support the vital Maine lobster industry by ensuring unfettered access to U.S. coastal waters, while conservation advocates highlight protections for undersea corals and ecosystems.
