Someone Please Explain This

Haven't got a clue, but as far as the equity part, something like "If English isn't their native tongue or indigent, relaxed bag limits" immediately popped into my warped brain...

Sorry there is no logical explanation except for WOKE culture, it’s pervasive. All the buzz words are in there.

I don't know what the answer is but I don’t think referring to everything not understood as WOKE is the answer

I recently got a message from NOAA discussing the potential for reevaluating certain regulations within the Magnuson Stevens Act. The communication specifically mentioned "climate-ready fisheries" and "equity and environmental justice".

I'm trying to understand the concept of "climate-ready fisheries" and how "equity and environmental justice" relates to managing fisheries.

The connection isn't quite clear to me yet.

Here's the release:

NOAA Fisheries Releases Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Potentially Revise Guidelines for National Standards 4, 8, and 9​

Comments accepted through September 12​

NOAA Fisheries is releasing advance notice of a proposed rule and seeking public comment on the need for potential revisions to the Guidelines for National Standards 4, 8, and 9 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.

Since the National Standards 4, 8, and 9 Guidelines were last revised, a number of fishery management issues—including those related to climate-ready fisheries and equity and environmental justice—suggest a need to revisit the guidelines to ensure they remain appropriate for current U.S. fisheries management.

The intent of the proposed rule is to provide background on some of the specific issues under consideration, seek specific input, and provide a general opportunity for public comment.
