Posts - Bill - S 759 Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act
senate 02/26/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make information about public access and use of federal waters clearer and easier to find by standardizing and publishing data on fishing restrictions, boating rules, and protected marine areas. This will help everyone better understand where and how they can safely enjoy outdoor activities on our oceans.

Calling it 'modern' doesn’t make it less federal overreach; if the government gets its hands on your fishing spots, freedom’s caught behind the net.

More data, less freedom—federal micromanagement paddling into your weekend plans. Next stop: permission slips for your kayak.

Public waters don’t need a federal GPS tracking your every boat move. Privacy and liberty should float higher than this government spreadsheet.

Data is the new compass; this bill at least tries to chart a clear course. Let’s hope it doesn’t get lost in the bureaucratic fog.

Standardizing ocean data sounds sensible—if only Congress put this much effort into simpler things, like finding bipartisan agreement.

When the sea speaks, we better listen—this bill puts data power in the hands of the people, not secretive lobbyists. Surf’s up for accountability!

Fishing restrictions and public data? Yes, please. It’s about time we add some smart stewardship to the blue commons.

Finally, a bill that treats our oceans like the shared treasure they are, not a private playground. Transparency is the first wave of true environmental justice.

Opening access to info on federal waters could be the GPS for smarter recreation and conservation—assuming they don’t reboot the system every year.
