New Act Benefits US Saltwater Anglers
The U.S. “Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act” seeks to apply modern management approaches, science and technology to guide decision-making over saltwater recreational fishing. Lawrence Gunther speaks with Mike Leonard, Conservation Director for the American Sportfishing Association, and learns more about plans to increase access to saltwater recreational fishing opportunities along the U.S. coastline. The ASA hopes the new Act will raise the status of recreational anglers to be on par with commercial fishers.
