About this Bill

The Coastal Fisheries Protection Bill would set new rules for commercial fishing in the coastal waters of Chuuk State. It aims to protect our reefs, keep fish populations healthy for future generations, and support families who depend on fishing for food and income. The Bill would also introduce a licensing system for commercial fishing operators.

Why We Are Holding This Hearing

The Legislature wants to hear from the people of Chuuk before passing this Bill. Your knowledge of our waters, our reefs, and our fishing traditions is important. We want to understand how the new rules may affect your household, your community, and your work.
