💨 Abstract

In California, the marine protected area network is undergoing a 10-year review, with advocates pushing for expansion to protect marine life and boost tourism. However, some commercial fishermen argue that the restrictions go too far, particularly for migratory species like swordfish and tuna, which pass briefly through protected zones. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has moved to reopen protected waters in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument to commercial fishing, sparking concerns from conservationists.
