A bill that supports important fishing access and fisheries conservation programs is up for reauthorization in Congress. Known as the America’s Conservation Enhancement (ACE) Reauthorization Act, this bill continues and strengthens numerous federal programs that would otherwise expire next year. The Senate version has already passed. Now it’s the turn of the U.S. House and we need your help to get it across the finish line.

Tell your Representative that you support this important legislation and that you think they should too. 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐎
