Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reauthorization of the Magnuson Fishery, Conservation, and Management Act: Hearing Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, June 30, and August 4, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:35 a.m. in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. John F. Kerry, presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Penelope D. Dalton and Lila H. Helms, professional staff members; and John A. Moran, minority staff counsel. Opening Statement of Senator Kerry Senator Kerry. The hearing will come to order. This morning we are meeting for the second in a series of hearings to prepare for the reauthorization of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act. We are not meeting today with specific legislation on the table in front of us. We are really preparing for that, and have set up a series of hearings to discuss the principal issues concerning our fisheries which seem to be growing in their intractability, complexity, and certainly their urgency. So, the committee really wants to explore a number of different approaches to conservation and management issues. Today, we are not meeting to discuss the councils and council problems, which we are well aware of. I would ask witnesses if they would try to keep from the fingerpointing that has occasionally characterized discussions of these issues. We are not here trying to assign blame to one set of fisher people or another, nor to one agency or another, but rather to really explore some of the social and economic consequences of the choices that we have to make, and to focus on the concept of sustainable use of our fishery resources. And that is at the heart of today´s hearing. We have met numerous times here. We have heard from several Senators, the Senator from Alaska, the Senators from Washington, and Members from the east coast, about the increasingly dire state of our fisheries. And indeed, as we meet here now, the overall state of those fisheries is not good. At the same time, we nave a fishing industry in this country that is the fifth largest in the world. U.S. fishery harvests produce some $3.9 billion in dockside revenues, contributing almost $50 billion to our economy.
