What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill gives the National Marine Fisheries Service more time — until 2035 instead of 2028 — to create new rules meant to protect endangered Atlantic large whales from getting tangled in lobster and crab fishing equipment. The new rules are supposed to require lobster and crab fisheries to use current and new fishing gear technologies to lower the chances of whales getting caught in their gear.
