Trump Reverses Obama-Era Rule, Opens Thousands of Square Miles to Commercial Fishing in Atlantic

President Donald Trump announced that he has issued a presidential proclamation allowing for commercial fishing in thousands of square miles of previously protected Atlantic Ocean waters off New England, reversing restrictions established by President Barack Obama's administration in 2010. The move aims to boost the industry and benefit local communities, with Trump stating it will help 'unleash' commercial fishing in the region. The decision reverses a long-standing ban on fishing in certain areas of the Atlantic Ocean, which was put in place to protect marine ecosystems. The new policy is expected to have significant implications for the fishing industry and conservation efforts in the area.
