Trump Reopens New England Marine Monument to Commercial Fishing

TL;DR
President Donald Trump signed a proclamation reopening the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off Cape Cod to commercial fishing, reversing Obama-era protections and Biden-era restoration. Trump says appropriately managed fishing can occur without harming protected habitats and that the move will support the Maine lobster industry and reduce regulatory burdens, while environmental groups vow to challenge it in court and defend the monument’s protections.
