Senator Chuck Schumer speaking at DC Fishing Rally

Sen. Schumer is a co-sponsor of a new bill called the Flexibility in Rebuilding American Fisheries. It would loosen some of the fishing restrictions, and require scientific evidence to support future limits.
"We need sound scientific findings that put the needs of fishermen and fish on the same playing field," he said to the crowd.
"Amazingly enough," said Schumer, "the Magnuson Act considers many factors in rebuilding stock but it doesn't have a thing to do or say about the the impact on coastal communities."
