Rob Bishop: “This is a bipartisan piece of legislation from those of us who are in the West.”

Both states and the Federal Government should play key roles in managing fisheries.

the Magnuson-Stevens Act is not just for the conservation and management of fishery resources, but also to assure that our citizens benefit from employment, food supply, and revenue which could be generated from these resources.

Instead of helping, it seems the Majority is more interested in putting fishermen's livelihood at risk in the name of faux conservation.

I want to remind him that OCS revenues provide 100 percent of the funding for the LWCF, as well as significant revenues to the Gulf of Mexico coastal states for coastal restoration.
