Bill overview
This bill, the Rhode Island Fishermen's Fairness Act of 2025, seeks to grant Rhode Island representation on the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council. Currently, the council primarily focuses on the fisheries of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. By amending the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, this legislation formally includes Rhode Island as a member of the council, aiming to ensure Rhode Island’s fishing interests are considered in regional fisheries management decisions.
