Fish might not be the cutest animals, but they are critical for the health of our ocean and coastal communities. Across the country, we’ve made meaningful progress towards ending overfishing and rebuilding vulnerable fish populations. And we have a little-known law with a long name to thank: the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA).

The MSA has proven that it’s an effective tool to rebuild fish populations. Please take action today and tell Congress to ensure that this success story continues for generations to come. Without continued leadership, progress made by fishermen, scientists, managers and dedicated citizens over the past 40 years could be lost if short-term political pressures are allowed to compromise long-term success.
