Pacific Remote Islands Opened to Fishing
In April 2025, the President opened the Pacific Remote Islands National Monument to commercial fishing. If you are a commercial fisher or own a fishing business, this creates new access to fishing areas that may increase catch and revenue.
Executive Order to Boost Seabed Minerals
The President signed an Executive Order to expand U.S. capabilities for exploration, production, and processing of critical minerals from the deep seabed. This creates opportunities for companies and workers involved in offshore mineral mining and processing.
Measures to Boost U.S. Seafood Competitiveness
The Administration says it will end trade practices that harm American fishermen and boost domestic seafood production and exports to make U.S. seafood more competitive. If you run a seafood business or fish for a living, these actions aim to support your sales and exports.
