Rep. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska, is calling for the overhaul of National Standards of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to make the entire system pro-fish.
“In Alaska fishing is our way of life,” Peltola said on Sept. 21, in the wake of NOAA completing a public comment period for its notice of proposed rulemaking to update those standards, which are the principles governing fisheries management decisions nationwide.
