Marking what he called a victory over "bad" regulatory treatment by the Obama and Biden administrations, President Donald Trump celebrated a new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) directive to reopen the northern edge of Georges Bank to commercial scallop fishermen.
In a Truth Social post designating Thursday as “National Scallops Day,” Trump touted that the move would deliver millions of pounds of wild scallops to American families and revitalize maritime jobs along the entire East Coast.
“This is in addition to freeing up a massive area off the East Coast for our Great Lobster Fishermen, and others (An Environmental Monument declared by Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden, that I terminated!), and a half a million square miles of the beautiful Pacific Ocean, where every country was allowed to fish except for our Great American Fishermen!”
Trump touted.
“I have opened up the Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, and Seas to our Fishermen, and freed them from ridiculous Environmental restrictions that allowed other countries to take advantage of the United States’ Waters under Barack Hussein Obuma, Sleepy Joe Biden, and the Dumocrats,” he continued.
“It is my Great Honor to have done so because I am the Fishermen’s Friend.”
Trump sees this as a win for his administration and the Republican Party heading into the November midterm elections.
“GO OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE MIDTERMS, BECAUSE IF THE COMMUNISTS GET IN, YOU’LL NEVER FISH AGAIN!”
he warned.
Georges Bank is an area elevated off the sea floor between Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Cape Sable Island that divides the Gulf of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean.
NOAA’s Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) program says that it has “an extensive food web including high levels of fish production that have sustained commercial fisheries since the 16th century,” due to its levels of chlorophyll that are similar to the near-shore regions of the continental shelf.
An area of the bank is closed year-round for habitat research due to NOAA restrictions.
It is unclear if these will be lifted.
According to NOAA’s fishing landings database, in 2024, commercial landings of Atlantic sea scallop totaled 21.2 million pounds of meats and were valued at $332 million.
Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey are credited for the majority of the U.S. harvest of sea scallops.
