Mr. Byrne House Resolution 274 provides a structured ruled for the strengthening of fishing communities and increasing flexibility in Fisheries Management act. This rule makes in order eight amendments. Five of which are from democratic sponsors. One of the amendments is a democratic substitute which will be debated for twice as long as the other amendments. As someone who has lived his whole life on the gulf coast, i can tell you just how important this bill is. For many people who live on our nations coast, this bill is a bat is about a way of life this bill is for our nations commercial fishermen who depend on a reliable fishing stock in order to make a living. This bill is also for our nations charter boat fleets, which are an important source for tourism. That means jobs, mr. Speaker. And all too often people in this town and government scientists seem not to care about that. Just as importantly, this bill is for our recreational fishermen and everyday anglers who just enjoy spending time on the waters. For my family this is a lifelong tradition. I remember fishing with my dad on the gulf of mexico. I treasure opportunities to fish with my four children. And as a new grandfather, i look forward to fishing with my grandson. This is a good bill. And as a former move the committee on jurisdiction, the Natural Resources committee, i can tell you that a great amount of time and effort has gone into this bill. This process started over two years ago and there was a lot of work to bring parties together to get a bill that everyone can agreen. Agree on. Unfortunately, as happens far too often here in washington mitigating circumstance colleagues on the other side of the aisle have decided to make this into a partisan fight. President obama said he will veto this bill. All this, despite real efforts to Work Together, across the aisle, to get a bill that works for everyone. I want to briefly talk about the idea of science, that the president and my colleagues on the other side claim the bill undermines. All too often here in d. C. , what passes for science is just political ideology dressed up with some technical language with no real basis in observable data. I dont know if the gentleman from colorado has ever been fish for red snapper on the gulf coast if he hasnt i invite him to do system of i can tell you there are more red snapper there than there have ever been before. Despite that good news, noaa and the federal government is consistently undercounting the numb of fish in the gulf of mexico. Heres the craziest part of all. Noaa is not sampling for red snapper on reefs. Despite the fact that the red snapper is a reef fish. Thats simply absurd. If you look for red snapper somewhere other than the reefs youre not going to find them because they live on reefs. Now noaa has also overestimated the number of red snapper caught each year. For example, last year, the federal government estimated that one million that 1,041,000 pounds were ought off the coast of alabama, where im from. The alabama red snapper reporting system, run by the state, only estimated a catch of 148,000 ponds pounds. Thats a remarkable disparity. Whats happened is a dangerous combination of noaa underestimating how many fish are caught and overestimating the number of fish caught each year. This resulted in a dramatically shortened season for red snapper fishermen. Last years red snapper season was only nine years this year hst been increased to 10 days. That is simply unacceptable. I support science based management. The Committee Supports signbased management. But i dont support and the committee doesnt support flawed science based management. And this house shouldnt either. So thats why i get so frustrated when i hear my colleagues say that this bill undermines good science. Come tell that to my fishermen on the gulf coast. Come tell that to the marine scientists on the gulf coast who have tone extensive Scientific Research on this. This bill is important because it includes real reforms that are designed to get some better science for all of our fisheries. Not only as it relates to red snapper but as it relates to the fisheries all around the United States of america. Why dont we encourage stronge
