Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act on April 13, 2026, and recognizing its significant impact on the sustainable and profitable management of the Nation's fishery resources.

This concurrent resolution would have Congress recognize the 50th anniversary of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the main federal law for managing marine fisheries in U.S. waters since 1976. It would celebrate people who work to provide seafood to the nation. It would commend resource managers, fishermen, industry members, Tribal members, scientists, and others who work under the law. It would also restate Congress's commitment to a science-based version of the law to address issues such as overfishing, changing ocean conditions, fishery disasters, and illegal fishing by foreign fleets. The resolution does not change any law or spend money.
