# 16 U.S.C. § 4001 - Congressional findings
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
The Congress finds that—
|
||
|
||
(1) the commercial fishing industry of the United States significantly contributes to the national economy, and could make a greater contribution if fish resources within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone were more fully utilized;
|
||
|
||
(2) the commercial fisheries of the United States provide significant employment in coastal areas and in processing and distribution centers;
|
||
|
||
(3) fish contribute an important nutritional component to the American diet;
|
||
|
||
(4) increased consumption of seafood in the United States could significantly lower the risk of many cardiovascular diseases;
|
||
|
||
(5) Federally supported development programs for commercial fisheries are unable to meet present and future marketing needs;
|
||
|
||
(6) many fish species are underutilized by the United States fishing industry because of underdeveloped markets; and
|
||
|
||
(7) the United States fishing industry has the potential to expand greatly its contribution to interstate and foreign commerce, favorably affecting the balance of trade.
