A bill to amend the Commercial Fisheries Research and Development Act of 1964 to authorize additional funds to restore fisheries affected by resource disasters.

Summary

Expresses the findings of Congress, including that: (1) fish populations of the world have been steadily declining; (2) one of the world's most important salmon fisheries is the sockeye salmon fishery of Bristol Bay, Alaska; and (3) provisions for the rehabilitation of fisheries which have failed have been inadequate. Increases, under the Commercial Fisheries Research and Development Act of 1964, from $1,500,000 to $5,000,000, the funds to restore fisheries, giving preference to those States where there is a commerical fishery failure due to a resource disaster arising from natural causes, from foreign violations of international fisheries agreements, or from undetermined causes.
