Summary
A presidential proclamation signed Thursday lifted commercial fishing bans in protected waters within three Pacific marine national monuments.
The order reopens portions of Papahānaumokuākea near Hawaii, the Mariana Trench near Guam and Rose Atoll near American Samoa.
Trump's action reverses restrictions that had barred fishing in those monument areas, changing access across a broad stretch of U.S.-protected Pacific waters.
