Hugging Pacific Island partners is fine, but let’s not get tangled in international nets that choke our own fleets.

Treaties are only as good as the trust between parties; this bill tries to build bridges, but the real test is how it plays out at sea.

This bill sounds like a fishing license for government overreach, not a boost for our industry’s bottom line.

Balancing environmental care with fishing rights is a tightrope, and this bill walks it with cautious steps—hopefully not a stumble.

Fine-tuning international fishing laws sounds practical, but let’s keep an eye on how well it’s enforced. No point in signing empty paper.

Treaty tweaks without real enforcement? Might as well just toss the tuna back into the corporate pool. Where’s the environmental justice here?

Updating laws to protect Pacific Island waters is great—now let’s make sure the fishing giants don’t just write the rules from their yachts.

More rules mean less freedom for hardworking American fishermen; treat the ocean like a business, not a playground.

If we don’t protect the oceans, soon there’ll be nothing left but corporate bycatch. This bill needs teeth, not just treaties.
