Withdraw 30x30 ocean agenda and loosen fisheries/MMPA/ESA/NEPA constraints
Mandate urges withdrawing the 30x30 EO and America the Beautiful initiative as used to close ocean areas; modify MMPA and ESA implementing regs; allow NEPA exemption for fisheries actions already analyzed under Magnuson–Stevens; harmonize sanctuaries with fisheries management.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 21 (Commerce) — NOAA fisheries/sanctuaries: withdraw the 30x30 Executive Order and Associated America the Beautiful Initiative; modify regulations implementing the Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act; allow a NEPA exemption for fisheries actions; harmonize Magnuson–Stevens Act with National Marine Sanctuaries Act.
Undo plan
1) Reinstate ocean conservation tools consistent with statute, including sanctuary and 30x30-related planning where lawful.
2) Reject blanket NEPA exemptions that erase public environmental review.
3) Restore MMPA/ESA protective implementing regulations via notice-and-comment.
4) Require tribal/fishery council consultation before sanctuary or closure changes.
5) Verify: stock assessments and bycatch trends post any deregulatory package.
