Streb<\/a><br><\/strong>Contributor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fishermen in New England are calling on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to rethink federal regulations that they say pose an \u201cexistential threat\u201d to their communities, according to a letter shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The New England Fishermen\u2019s Stewardship Association (NEFSA) sent the&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/c2fa45_ea8199164505416081aa1c73bbdf631e-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">letter<\/a>&nbsp;to DOGE Wednesday outlining the \u201cunnecessary bloat\u201d of federal regulations that are \u201cdestroying the fishing industry.\u201d The group urged DOGE to begin the process of deregulating the industry by reallocating National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries\u2019 funds currently used to \u201cdestroy\u201d the industry by placing regulations that have benefitted \u201cforeign competitors\u201d to instead go to \u201csupporting and marketing\u201d the fishing industry.&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2025\/04\/11\/white-house-scrap-another-federal-climate-research-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(RELATED: White House To Scrap Federal Climate Research Office As Part Of \u2018Woke Ideology\u2019 Cleanse)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFishing is one of the most dangerous and challenging trades in existence, but it is an invaluable source of food and commerce,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cOverregulation by climate-focused, ideological bureaucrats is destroying the fishing industry, making it nearly impossible for working-class fishermen to make a living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter follows an April 9&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/fact-sheets\/2025\/04\/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-restores-americas-maritime-dominance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive order<\/a>&nbsp;signed by President Donald Trump to \u201crevitalize U.S. maritime industries\u201d and \u201creview ways to improve competition within the private sector.\u201d The president said in the order that the industry had been \u201cweakened by decades of government neglect\u201d and vowed to prioritize its restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2023, NEFSA represents hundreds of members with the shared goal of \u201cfighting to save the American commercial fishing heritage and to preserve the opportunity for future generations to work in the fisheries providing fresh, wild-caught, protein-rich, sustainable seafood to the nation.\u201d according to its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nefishermen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its letter, the group specifically called on DOGE to \u201cinvestigate\u201d and \u201creallocate NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] funding to support the fishing industry\u201d through subsidies for ship modernization as well as advertising fish consumption, which the group says \u201caligns\u201d with the administration\u2019s \u201cMake America Healthy Again\u201d movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiven the NOAA accounts for over half of Commerce\u2019s budget, it is undoubtedly a ripe target for further investigation by DOGE,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cIndeed, DOGE was established for this very purpose \u2014 to target federal government inefficiencies that often manifest themselves as overreach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter further calls for the \u201celimination\u201d of the NOAA\u2019S Office for Coastal Management (OCM), arguing that it has been \u201ceffectively captured by environmentalist groups,\u201d resulting in the oversupply of protected areas that prohibit fishing entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group points to over regulation as a burden on the industry, which notably increased under the Biden administration. During former President Joe Biden\u2019s term, the NOAA&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/patch.com\/massachusetts\/barnstable-hyannis\/biden-banning-commercial-fishing-area-coast-cape-cod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proposed<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/fox-news-us\/biden-admins-new-rule-could-put-pinch-on-lobster-fishermen-while-letting-others-off-the-hook-critics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expanded<\/a>&nbsp;restricted fishing areas in New England. The administration also increased federal&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2023\/05\/04\/biden-aims-death-blow-fishing-industry-sharp-catch-limits-wind-farms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restrictions<\/a>&nbsp;on allowable catches and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lobstermen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ALWTP-Summary-of-Changes-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lobster robe<\/a>, though there was a seafood&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/charts-of-note\/chart-detail?chartId=108472#:~:text=U.S.%20seafood%20exports%20dropped%20about,at%20%2420.3%20billion%20in%202023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trade imbalance<\/a>&nbsp;to the tune of $20.3 billion in 2023. Seafood exports from the U.S. also dropped substantially, roughly 23%, from 1995 to 2023, according to the Economic Research Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Meanwhile, the U.S. has begun to import much of its seafood from China, according to an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/usa.oceana.org\/reports\/analysis-finds-americans-are-eating-seafood-from-countries-with-track-records-of-crimes-at-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">analysis<\/a>&nbsp;from Oceana which also found that \u201cAmericans are eating seafood from countries with a history of illegal fishing and human rights violations at sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cForeign fishers are reaping the rewards and benefiting from high demand in the United States,\u201d the letter continues. \u201cThis trade imbalance is precisely the type of issue that President Trump has a mandate to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEFSA\u2019s letter also references reports that the U.S. fishing industry\u2019s revenue&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibisworld.com\/united-states\/industry\/fishing\/81\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dropped<\/a>&nbsp;by a compound annual rate of 3.5% over the past five years totaling $5.9 billion, despite&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/outlook\/cmo\/food\/fish-seafood\/united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increasing demand<\/a>&nbsp;for seafood. The group argues that imports from \u201cforeign competition\u201d serve to \u201cfill the gap,\u201d which is \u201cprecisely that type of issue that DOGE was designed to tackle,\u201d in the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe feel that fishermen know how to catch a fish. They are very good at it. That is what they do. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve been doing since they can walk, most of them,\u201d Dustin Delano, a fourth-generation Maine lobsterman and NEFSA\u2019s chief operating officer told the DCNF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial fishing is a huge part of New England\u2019s maritime heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEFSA is proud to protect this way of life for generations to come!&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LSSiRXnTcn\">pic.twitter.com\/LSSiRXnTcn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 NE Fishermen\u2019s Stewardship Assoc.

They have their own personal agendas and climate initiatives that they put over us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letter further references how other regulatory bodies in Canada, Iceland and Norway \u201cprotect fisheries and boost exports,\u201d while it singles out the U.S. for being \u201cwholly&nbsp;captured by environmental interests.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOAA has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lobstermen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ALWTP-Summary-of-Changes-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">implemented<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oceanographicmagazine.com\/news\/outrage-as-noaa-abandons-north-atlantic-right-whale-protections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">policies<\/a>&nbsp;based on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/asafishing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Fact-Check_NOAA-Vessel-Speed-Restriction61.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inaccurate assumptions<\/a>\u201d that lobster fisheries harm endangered whale species, which caused a \u201cdetriment\u201d to the industry, according to the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe feel quite strongly that a lot of the actions taken over recent years have essentially catered to climate change type regulations rather than actual fisheries management.
