00:02President Trump signed a proclamation reopening nearly 500,000 square miles of protected Pacific
00:08waters to commercial fishing under his America First Fishing Policy, according to Benzinga.
00:14The White House said,
00:15The order restores access to the Mao and Hoamalu zones of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National
00:21Monument, the Islands Unit of the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and the Rose Atoll
00:27Marine National Monument.
00:28The administration said the policy aims to boost domestic seafood production, support
00:34American jobs, and cut reliance on imported seafood.
00:36Fishing industry representatives at the signing backed the move, saying Trump had delivered
00:40major relief to a sector burdened by years of regulatory pressure.
00:44The proclamation builds on earlier efforts, including an April 2025 executive order on
00:50seafood competitiveness and a February 2026 Atlantic fishing expansion.
