Bill overview
The Fluke Fairness Act of 2019 aims to reform the management of summer flounder, a commercially and recreationally important fish species along the East Coast. It directs the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council to develop a new, science-based fishery management plan that considers the current distribution and abundance of the fish, moving away from relying solely on historical landings data. The act also requires the Council to consult with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and mandates a report from the Government Accountability Office assessing compliance with national fishing standards.
