US EditionTrump to allow commercial fishing in New England marine monument
- President Trump will sign an executive order reopening 4,913 square miles of ocean off New England to commercial fishing on May 10, 2025.
- The reopening undoes the 2016 designation made by former President Obama that protected a section of ocean off New England, a closure that President Biden later restored.
- The order supports New England fishing communities by removing restrictions perceived as burdensome and aims to boost economic growth in coastal regions.
- Trump pledged to strongly support fishermen like never before, while Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the decision as a major win for those involved in New England’s fishing and lobster industries.
- This action signals renewed federal commitment to the fishing industry, potentially restoring access and addressing regulatory challenges faced by local fishermen.
