 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Declares that it is the sense of the Congress that the United States should: (1) take measures to conserve the resources of an area of the Bering Sea known as the Donut Hole; (2) continue pursuit of an international agreement to ensure management for future commercial viability of the resources; (3) promote international programs for the implementation and enforcement of regulations of the fisheries by nations that fish in the Donut Hole; (4) be mindful of its management responsibility and its rights to use the stock in its Exclusive Economic Zone; (5) accept as an urgent duty conservation of Aleutian Basin pollock stock and carry out that duty; and (6) foster multilateral cooperation and explore all other options for conservation and management of these living marine resources.
