40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill renames and reauthorizes the Young Fishermen's Development Act, extending its funding through 2031 instead of letting it expire in 2026. The Act provides grants to universities, nonprofits, and fishing industry groups that run training, apprenticeship, and mentorship programs for new commercial fishermen. The bill also adds Captain Accursio "Gus" Sanfilippo's name to the Act.
New and beginning commercial fishermen, along with organizations that run their training programs, are directly affected. Coastal communities dependent on fishing as an economic activity are also affected.
Extending the funding period allows training programs covering business skills, safety, and sustainable fishing techniques to continue operating past the 2026 expiration date. The bill does not change funding amounts or how the program operates.
