Under GSRSMA, fish and wildlife agencies of the five Gulf States would use public input to develop and implement a coordinated, science-based fishery management plan. The current management regime is a complete failure and the federal governments science is not providing an accurate picture of the health of the fishery, said Graves. This is an opportunity to harness the Gulf State agencies expertise to improve access for the enormous recreational fishing community in South Louisiana and the Gulf South while sustainably managing our fisheries. Im looking forward to this hearing and to adopting a species management model that is sustainable and fair. Congressman Gravess bi-partisan legislation currently has 26 cosponsors in the House of Representatives. The Full Committee hearing will take place on October 22, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
