 Former President Donald Trump lifted restrictions on commercial fishing in the monument area in 2020. The Biden administration reestablished those protections one year later in a move praised by environmental groups and condemned by fishermen, who said it would put more people out of work. Shannon says the new monument management plan helps ensure this unique area is protected from the harms of overfishing, while the larger ocean ecosystem benefits. That should allow for species that are fished to come into the monument waters.
