We are working to expand disaster relief under the Magnuson-Stevens Act to include freshwater fisheries affected by infrastructure failures like levees and flood control systems. This ensures communities dependent on fisheries like crawfish can access needed support after environmental disruptions.

Fixing infrastructure to protect fish means fixing systems that left them high and dry—environmental care isn’t optional, it’s overdue.

More handouts for fish? Maybe next they’ll ask for unemployment benefits—let’s not bail out everything that swims.

If infrastructure fails, fix it—don’t turn it into a taxpayer-funded seafood rescue mission.

Fishery disaster relief sounds nice, but where’s the accountability? We can’t keep turning emergencies into endless government checks.

Helping crawfish and other local fisheries feels like common sense—support where it's needed without the usual red tape.
