Group: Trump official's fish ruling could harm conservation

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Interstate fishing managers say a row with an appointee of President Donald Trump's administration over the regulation of flounder fishing off New Jersey jeopardizes conservation of marine species all along the East Coast.

The fish in question is summer flounder, which is popular with sport fishermen and commercial fishermen from Maine to Florida. The regulatory Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission announced in June that it had found New Jersey out of compliance with management of the fishery.

But Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross needed to sign off on the ruling, and he instead reversed it. A commission spokeswoman says Ross's ruling is extremely rare and has the potential to soften the commission's regulatory authority.

 
A spokesman for the Department of Commerce didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

STUFF in a frozen shipping container.

Sell it to third world countries as food fit for human consumption /wink, /wink

Make the 3rd world slaves process shipping containers of battered up, frozen alive-
spent 'laying hens',
jumping carp frozen alive,
old dairy cows, gigantic infected utters bursting with infection-

-into cheap foods like fish sticks, pink slime 'beef' plumper ,and those 49 cent TV dinners.

Ground 'meat' with DNA of drugged up broken down race horses & stolen kids ponies

Any other road kill they mange to slip into the "meat" grinder with our unregulated- American slaughter horror- houses.

And then what's left stinking and rotting to much for bleach to even 'clean' is for our pets to eat.

IMO
