Trump declares National Scallops Day while ripping Obama, Biden
Trump said reopening Georges Bank will add millions more pounds of wild scallops and support East Coast fishing jobs.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump declared National Scallops Day and announced the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will reopen the northern edge of Georges Bank to commercial scallop fishing, reversing a 1994 closure.
- The Commerce Department closed the northern edge of Georges Bank in 1994 as an emergency measure to protect spawning habitats for scallops and groundfish, a restriction maintained through the Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations.
- Trump claimed the reopening will yield 'millions more pounds' of wild scallops annually, supporting jobs in East Coast ports including Norfolk, Cape May, and New Bedford within an Atlantic sea scallop fishery generating about $500 million each year.
- White House adviser Peter Navarro stated the administration intends to revitalize the seafood sector by evaluating restrictions along the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts, framing the move as a benefit to American consumers.
- Fisheries regulators have historically opposed reopening the area, arguing that restrictions are essential to preserve fish stocks and safeguard marine ecosystems, though the 2026 season is currently seeing strong early landings of over 2,000 pounds per day.
