Declares that it is the policy of the Congress that our fishing industry be afforded all support necessary to have it strengthened, and all steps be taken to provide adequate protection for our coastal fisheries against excessive foreign fishing, and that the Congress is fully prepared to act immediately to provide interim measures to conserve overfished stocks and to protect our domestic fishing industry.
States that the Congress recognizes, encourages, and intends to support the key responsibilities of the several States for conservation and scientific management of fisheries resources within United States territorial waters; and the Congress particularly commends Federal programs designed to improve coordinated protection, enhancement, and scientific management of all United States fisheries, including presently successful Federal aid programs under the Commercial Fisheries, Research and Development Act of 1964, and the newly developing Federal-State fisheries management programs.
