"Me either."

J.D. Vance wants to expand drilling and fracking.

J.D. Vance wants to gut protections for clean air and safe water.

J.D. Vance wants to roll back our climate progress.

J.D. Vance and Donald Trump want to take us backwards.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Bristol Bay's fish runs supply half of the world's wild sockeye salmon, supporting 15,000 jobs.

We listened to scientists, Tribal leaders, and fishers who rely on the bay and want to protect it from toxic waste.

If we take care of a resource like this, it can go on forever.

Forced labor on fishing vessels inflicts devastating harm on #migrantworkers held in servitude. Vannak Anan Prum, a survivor of #forcedlabor at sea, wrote a powerful memoir about these violations. To mark #HumanTraffickingPreventionMonth, please learn more

The U.S. imported $2.4b of illegal seafood in 2019, and illegal fishing is driving human rights abuses at sea. More on the @NRDC blog 👇 #EndIllegalFishing

Check out our new @NRDC report on how to improve seafood traceability and import controls @NOAAFisheries to block trade in illegal seafood. 🐟🦈🦐 https://t.co/Dd9d9H7PpP

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

In 2016, the Seafood Import Monitoring Program was created to trace and block illegal seafood shipments from U.S. markets. Yet 11% of U.S. seafood imports in 2019 were obtained illegally. Our newest report provides guidance on how to improve the program ⬇️ https://t.co/uakniur0bd

Due to the impacts of climate change, there won’t always be more fish in the sea.

That’s why members of congress are calling on @NOAAFisheries to scale up our #ClimateReadyFisheries. Read more & see the letter here. 👇

Thank you @RepHuffman, @RepEdCase, @Rep_Peltola, @RepLowenthal, @Call_Me_Dutch, @repblumenauer, @RepDebDingell, @RepBarragan, & @RepMcEachin for supporting #ClimateReadyFisheries!

[Molly Masterton @mollymasterton]

How can @NOAAFisheries build #ClimateReadyFisheries? Members of Congress are urging NOAA to:

☑ Prioritize climate-ready management
🌊Invest in Climate, Ecosystems, & Fisheries Initiative
🐟Rebuild stocks & prevent overfishing
🌎 Increase guidance for climate-ready approaches

[Molly Masterton @mollymasterton]

I did a deeper dive on these recommendations on the @NRDC blog 🐟: https://t.co/vaDYn7UNJ2

Climate change is disrupting our fisheries and threatening coastal economies.

@USGAO found that @NOAAFisheries is acting too slowly to adapt to climate change. We must make sure all fisheries are #ClimateReadyFisheries.

[Molly Masterton @mollymasterton]

Great breakdown by @MeredithMoray on the need to move swiftly toward #ClimateReadyFisheries #SeafoodMonth @NOAAFisheries

[Meredith Moore @MeredithMoray]

I wrote about how far behind we are in adding climate info to our fishery management decisions, and why I’m so worried about that. Emissions reductions don’t help us for 30 more years - we must act sooner to keep fisheries sustainable.

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

Our fisheries management bill passed out of @NRDems!

Over the past three years, we embarked on a remarkably transparent, stakeholder-driven effort to update the MSA. A big day and an important step for more inclusive, science-based legislation. @RepEdCase @Rep_Peltola

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

From climate change to declining fish populations, American fisheries + coastal communities are facing urgent threats.

Today’s @NRDems vote on the #FisheriesfortheFuture Act is an opportunity for Congress to invest in resilient coastal communities. 🎣 https://t.co/odCCDPfCAT

[Mary Peltola @MaryPeltola]

Being pro-fish shouldn’t be a distinctly Alaskan position.

We have fisheries nationwide, all important if not critical to their surrounding communities, all facing distinct troubles.

It’s our responsibility to make sure they’re healthy and maintained for future generations.

@MiriamGoldste Love it - this Mainer has the same one hanging in her office! 🐟

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

We have to codify Roe v. Wade into law.

And as I said this morning: If the filibuster gets in the way, then we need to make an exception to get it done.

@fishmigration Nice! The old Pejebscot mill in Brunswick ME?
