The Executive order I sign will protect striped bass and red drum caught in Federal waters by moving to prohibit their commercial sale.
This is the single largest conservation area in the history of our Nation and the largest protected marine area in the world.
This is a national issue that requires national focus.
I respect the States' role in the management of the natural resources under their care.
