Date Requested June 29, 2016
Requested By Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Date Sent Oct. 21, 2016
Description:

S. 3099 would prohibit the National Park Service (NPS) from implementing or enforcing restrictions on fishing in Biscayne National Park in Florida, unless the restrictions are developed in coordination with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and are the least restrictive measures necessary for effective management of the fishery. The bill also would require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to issue a final regulation implementing the Billfish Conservation Act of 2012, which prohibits the sale of billfish, within 45 days of enactment of the bill. Finally, S. 3099 would amend the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to prohibit people from feeding sharks in federal waters.
