History buffs, ocean lovers, and fisheries nerds—this one is for you! 🐟📣 Today marks 50 years since the Magnuson-Stevens Act was signed into law! The Act is the cornerstone of U.S. marine fisheries management, positioning the nation as a global leader in sustainable fisheries.
“50 Years of the Magnuson-Stevens Act: As we strive to strike that perfect balance between harvesting for today and conserving for tomorrow, the Magnuson-Stevens Act will continue to serve as our compass. By adhering to the vision laid out all those years ago, we can ensure that American fisheries management remains the gold standard for the world. — Eugenio Pineiro-Soler, NOAA Fisheries Assistant Administrator.” Text is overlaid on a faded photo of boats docked in calm seas.
