Last week, South Carolina's congressional delegation, led by Congressman Russell Fry (R-Surfside Beach) and joined by U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott and Representatives Joe Wilson, Ralph Norman, Nancy Mace, William Timmons, and Sheri Biggs, formally urged U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to transfer management of the South Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery to the states.
In a joint letter, the delegation expressed "strong support for a new state-led framework to ensure more effective, science-based stewardship" of a fishery at the center of South Carolina's $6.5 billion recreational boating and fishing industry.
