Bill overview
This bill, the Pandemic Fishery Disaster Response Act, aims to provide disaster relief to the commercial fishing industry when a pandemic significantly disrupts fisheries. It modifies the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to specifically recognize pandemics as a potential cause of fishery disasters. By adding ‘pandemic’ to the list of qualifying events, the bill allows the Department of Commerce to declare disasters impacting fisheries due to such events and provide necessary assistance. This legislation seeks to address the unique challenges posed by pandemics to the fishing sector.
