The Gulf Seafood Institute (GSI) has authorized a position paper detailing the organizations platform on the upcoming reauthorization of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). The position paper has been presented to the House Resources and Senate Commerce Committees during recent meetings on Capitol Hill.
The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation’s Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard is in the process of holding a series of hearings on MSA to review perspectives from different regions across the country. A recent hearing focused on the southeast region, including the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf Seafood Institute is expanding its current MSA platform as it continues to work with policymakers on issues affecting the Gulf coast seafood community.
