"President Trump is reinstating commercial fishing in a national marine monument after the practice was blocked by his Democratic predecessors.
Trump is expected to issue a proclamation Friday reinstating commercial fishing access in all 4,913 square miles of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, which is located off the coast of Massachusetts.
The proclamation was first reported by the NH Journal.
The national monument was established by former President Obama to protect deep-sea canyons with unique ecosystems. The administration said at the time that these ecosystems are significantly impacted by climate change."
