After hearing concerns from both fishermen and At-Sea Monitors, I worked with my Massachusetts colleague Rep. Seth Moulton to urge NOAA to extend the suspension.pic.twitter.com/7THiNVTArd

I am again calling on NOAA and the Trump Administration to protect the health and safety of our fishing community by acting to extend the suspension before it expires tonight.

UPDATE: I am pleased that NOAA has now decided, albeit at the last minute, to extend the waiver for At-Sea Monitors until August. COVID-19 has disrupted huge segments of our economy, and it has had a particularly severe impact on our fishing community.

This waiver will allow boats and their crew to continue their work as a critical component of our domestic food production system without fearing exposure to COVID-19.
