This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.
It is the sense of Congress that protection of essential fish habitat ensures healthy and resilient fisheries and marine ecosystems, particularly as oceans conditions shift due to climate change, and that impacts from both fishing gear and nonfishing activities should be considered through consistent application of essential fish habitat provisions under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
