Why the Mag-Stevens Act is successful:
• Establishes timelines for rebuilding populations
• Uses science to set catch limits
• Balances regional and national interests
Congress should keep this law intact. https://t.co/rhd05tQxKy via @Tedontheocean#KeepOceansFishy
The Magnuson Stevens Act has been successful in restoring 44 unhealthy fish stocks back to healthy levels. #USCongress don’t change what works.

Congress votes soon on a bill that could threaten our oceans and increase the risk of overfishing. Tell your Representative to VOTE NO on HR 200!

Stripping science from our ocean plan hurts our environment, cuts jobs in green energy, & opens the door to another Deepwater Horizon. This could have disastrous effects for CT's shoreline. We need our lawmakers to stand strong against these attacks!

ACT NOW: On Tuesday, the House could vote to weaken how our country manages fishing in the ocean. Tell them to protect our fish populations. https://t.co/WelIwLjcWf

Removing strong, science-based conservation measures from our federal fishing laws and is another attack on our oceans. Don’t mess with what works. Call your Congress members today and tell them you support healthy fisheries #OpposeHR200#KeepOceansFishy https://t.co/tUYymdnIve
Many of us take 4 granted that the U.S. has one of the best managed fisheries in the 🌍. Not long ago, our 🐟🎣 were in terrible shape like much of the rest of the 🌎. #ChefsForFish Please call DC & ask your rep 2 “keep the Magnuson-Stevens Act strong!” https://t.co/8nfeWnnrv7
We agree with @FishAlliance when they promote the need to invest in science based management and protect the MSA
