Fisheries Bycatch Regulations

The Fisheries Bycatch Regulations bill aims to reduce the incidental catch of non-target species during fishing operations. It proposes measures to minimize bycatch through improved gear technology, area closures, and data collection requirements. The bill seeks to promote sustainable fishing practices, protect endangered species, and support ecosystem conservation. If enacted, this legislation could have a significant impact on preserving marine biodiversity and ensuring the long-term health of fisheries.
